Pork and fraud isn’t just a national problem. States have major problems figuring out how to spend money wisely, and Tennessee is no different.
A few examples:
$9 million for the “Party Bunker,” an underground entertainment facility buried in the front yard of the Governor’s Mansion.
$7.4 million to finance government- approved art, including a grant to an author of sex novels and support for a film festival showing “an Iraqi bloodbath” and “porn-influenced sexual encounters.”
$2.3 million to bail out 11 financially insolvent state-owned golf courses.
$1 million to study mouse genomes at the University of Tennessee.
$482,572 to fund the “Barge to Nowhere,” a ferry connecting Benton and Houston Counties that carries less than 17 passengers per day.
The Mr and I are hoping to make this event, but we shall see. One good thing, I know exactly where it will be, so I won’t get lost….as usual. 
Careful Kate, TN is starting to sound like the liberal state I call home, IL.
Frightening, isn’t it. Oddly enough, Bredesen isn’t too bad for a Dem, but they’re learning from the federal level, so I suppose it’s too be expected.
