Governor Bredesen today said state government is now looking at an even bigger financial hole.

With tax receipts continuing to lag... he's going to have to cut almost half a billion dollars from next year's budget.

Today he told us by phone that even his pet project of pre-K education will take a hit.

Gov. Bredesen "I am probably going to have to trim my sails in a lot of places that I would love to have them out full and blowing, but I'm going to figure out how to continue to grow this program. Even in a tough year here, I just don't know exactly where it will be yet."
