Bredesen calls for priorities not politics

By Rebecca Feldhaus

Nashville, TN – Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen wants Republican Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey to worry more about his legislative priorities than his political aspirations. Ramsey is among three Republicans seeking to governor's seat. Ramsey has spoken out against Bredesen's plan to lift the state's sales tax cap on big ticket items to bridge an $85 million budget gap. Bredesen has served as Governor since 2003, and is in the final year of his term.
