Rather than closing the alleged family-business tax "loophole", why not look for wasteful spending, Mr. Bredesen? According to News 5, court officers don't have to work the full day they are paid for. At another point in the report, one court officer said he "worked for the Davidson County taxpayers".
Here is a nice quote from the report:
"Altogether, the price tag for the 22 court officers in General Sessions Court comes to $1.2 million -- yet no one keeps track of how much they work or how much they're off."
Whether these part-time workers with full time salaries work for the state or county, here is one area of waste that seriously needs to be evaluated.
