| Governor Phil Bredesen's State of the State Address
Business Involvement, Economic/Workforce Development, Finance, Finance--State Budgets/Expenditures, Mathematics, Science, Postsecondary
-- Ask the General Assembly, the private sector, our university system, and Oak Ridge to work with me in the months ahead to invent a way to become a national leader in basic solar research. Oak Ridge—in combination with UT Knoxville—has the research tools to draw not only scientists from all over the world to come work here, but also Tennessee's brightest
young math and science students.
Completion/Postsec. Graduation, Postsecondary, Tuition/Fees
-- "Fix" the fact that as the costs of Tennessee higher education continue to grow, the likelihood increases of some students abandoning the dream of a college degree.
-- Ask the University of Tennessee Board of Trustees, the Board of Regents and the THEC commissioners: work with me and the General Assembly to figure out how we can keep higher education affordable, get more kids to graduate and fashion a true 21st century higher education system for our state.
Economic/Workforce Development, Finance, Finance--State Budgets/Expenditures
-- Invest in creating jobs.
-- Create jobs in the area of clean energy technology.
Federal, Federal--Aid, Finance, Finance--State Budgets/Expenditures
-- Send the legislature a conservative budget in March. I plan to wait until the federal government acts and then fashion a budget that incorporates the effects of that stimulus package.
-- Understand that no proposed version of the stimulus bill is any panacea and substantial cuts will still be needed.
-- Remain cautious about the use of rainy day funds.
-- Stay focused on those things that are most important for the long term success of Tennessee: education and the creation of good jobs.
High School, High School--Dropout Rates/Graduation Rates, Mathematics, Postsecondary
-- Want to tell the state's eighth graders this: you need more education than you think you do. In the years ahead, making things is something you'll do less and less with your hands
and more and more with your minds. Stay in school. Take lots of math. Graduate. Go to college.
