Southeastern Libraries are feeling more budget cuts, this time in Tennessee. According to a May 2, 2008 article in the Chattanooga Times Free Press, “for the budget year beginning July 1, the board estimated there will be $468 million to $585 million less than called for in Gov. Bredesen’s original spending plan.
Gov. Bredesen already has said budget cuts include making ’serious’ layoffs of regular state employees as well as no pay raises.
He also has said he intends, at least for now, to fund regular growth in the state’s Basic Education Program funding formula, although top administration officials say some $86.5 million in other funds may be cut to continue BEP reforms.” Continue to read more about the cuts here.
