Tennessee’s multi-million dollar corporate subsidies don’t get quite the same public scrutiny that the state budget is getting this week in live-streamed hearings with Governor Bill Haslam. So in an interview with WPLN, we press Haslam to justify his recent spending on economic development incentives, especially since he’s been asking for much of state government to do more with less.
“Ultimately, the best thing we can do for the state is bring jobs,” Haslam says. “That will drive more revenue to the state than anything else.”
