"You will hear from those who say we ought to preserve special breaks for some businesses and impose an income tax on working Tennesseans. That's not tax relief; it's not tax reform; it's not tax simplification; and it's not tax fairness. All an income tax does is raise the tax burden on Tennesseans and create a way to finance the easy and endless expansion of government. Tennessee does not need a state income tax."   - Governor Don Sundquist - February 8, 1999

• Speaker Naifeh and His Lobbyist Wife: Conflict of Interest.
  • You may not know that TN House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh's wife is also one of
    the most influential lobbyists in Nashville. We believe this is a direct
    conflict of interest. Her name is Betty Anderson Naifeh and she owns
    Advance Public Strategies. The following link used to be a link to her client list. Upon discovery that we were on to her, it was taken down.  We can only imagine that her clients were getting an earful.   We keep this broken link on this page as a reminder that they may try to hide but we still see. www.apstrategies.com/clients.html
