Johnson says his goal is to keep Tennessee fiscally conservative

(The Center Square) – Tennessee state Sen. Jack Johnson, R-Franklin, said his goal as incoming lieutenant governor is to keep the state fiscally conservative. The General Assembly approved a $58 billion budget last year for fiscal year 2027. Johnson, who served as Senate Majority Leader for the 2025-2026 session, said in his April budget presentation that the spending plan includes $30 billion in state general funds and dedicated state appropriations and $19 billion of federal funding. The remaining $9 billion in the budget is from fees, tuition and bonds. Johnson was nominated as lieutenant governor by the Senate Republican Caucus on Tuesday, pending approval by the full Senate. Republicans hold a supermajority with 27 seats to Democrats' six. Johnson said he knows that Republican Gov.-elect Marsha Blackburn will join him in remaining fiscally conservative. But lawmakers will face the same issues they have faced in the past few years. A report from the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations shows the state's transportation needs continue to grow. The report examined planning documents from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the department's presentation to the General Assembly, and its federally required asset management plan. "Based on this information, to both maintain the

Christian school wins Tennessee court case challenging religious charter ban

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Knox County Schools cannot block a Christian charter school application on religious grounds despite a Tennessee law banning religious charter schools, according to a federal court ruling on Friday. The narrow decision applies only to Knox County Schools and the Wilberforce Academy of Knoxville, which sued the school district last year over its application of the state law. It does not strike down Tennessee’s religious charter school ban or guarantee that Wilberforce’s application will be approved. The ruling comes amid a growing national conservative push to greenlight taxpayer-funded religious schools . Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti declined to defend the 2002 law earlier this year after publicly calling it “likely” unconstitutional , leaving Knox County Schools to face a lawsuit challenging a state law it was required to enforce. Tennessee lawmakers also loosened the state’s restrictions on religious charter schools this year, allowing religious organizations to operate charter schools as long as the schools themselves remain nonreligious. Wilberforce, however, aims to open an explicitly

When opioid-settlement grants turn nonprofits into public contractors

In March 2024, Tennessee’s Opioid Abatement Council (OAC) approved a three-year grant worth about $1.7 million for a Knoxville nonprofit called Next Step Initiative Tennessee. The state’s own grant workbook classified the organization as “small.” Its Trenches 2 Treatment project was approved for $566,566 in the first year alone, and a little more than a year later, the same grant appeared in a very different kind of state record.
