State budget discussions get underway Today begins the week-long process in which state leaders present their proposed budgets to Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam.. Budget hearings are one of the first steps in crafting the budget for the upcoming financial year, as the heads of every state department present their budgets. Haslam already directed each department to prepare their budgets for the next fiscal year with a 3.5 percent cut from this year. But the governor is quick to note that this presentation is an exercise to examine potential cuts and in no way means any of those cuts will actually happen. Last year the governor asked departments to prepare their budgets with a 7 percent cut, but proposed a budget with cuts that were not as drastic. Still it is up to members of the state House and Senate to pass the final budget. They can make changes during the legislative process but those changes are subject to a possible veto from the governor, although that doesn't happen often.
