FREE money abounds in state government

Ben provides yet another example of the free money mindset in state government.

Don’t worry, “WE” don’t have to pay it back

from TaxingTennessee by Ben Cunningham

A Clip from the Legislative Report where Transportation Commissioner Nicely is testifying about the stimulus money.

Rep Floyd asks Commissioner Nicely if we have to pay back the stimulus money… in true bureaucratic fashion he says:

“No sir, long as the fed govt will print it and send it, we’ll spend it.”

 

So commissioner Nicely thinks this is FREE money? Maybe he forgets that Tennessee taxpayers ALSO pay federal taxes??
