. THE
. THE SEGWAY
INTO
INTO JOBS
INTO JOBS NOW AND THE SAME QUESTION AS WITH EDUCATION
WHAT IS THE HALLMARK
ACHIEVEMENT WHEN IT COMES TO
CREATING JOBS IN CLASS SO
WE'RE GOING IN WITH CLOSE TO
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND NET NEW
PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS IN
THE EIGHT YEARS UNEMPLOYMENT
HAS HIT HISTORIC LOWS NOW TO
BE HONEST THE ECONOMY'S BEEN
A COMEBACK. WE CAME IN AT
THE TAIL INTO RECESSION IT
WAS OVER WHERE TO START
COMBAT UNEMPLOYMENT WAS TEN
ELEVEN PERCENT. IT'S BEEN
THREE THREE AND A HALF TO GET
SOME OF THAT IS JUST SOME
WINDS BLOWING OUR WAY BUT I
THINK WE HAVE WORKED REALLY
HARD TO SAY TO JOB CREATORS
THIS IS A PLACE WHERE WE
WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
MAKE CERTAIN IF YOU MAKE A
CAPITAL INVESTMENT HERE THAT
WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
GET YOU THE RETURN THAT YOU
KNOW IT WE CAN'T PROMISE THEM
ANYTHING BUT WE DO THAT BY
HAVING LOW TAXES WE DO THAT
BY ENCOURAGING US REASONABLE
BUSINESS REGULATIONS AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY WE DO IT BY
SAYING WE'LL GET TO
THE WORKFORCE IN ME SO I
THINK WE ADULTS LOTS OF BIG
YOU KNOW COME TO THE BIG
ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT ARE REALLY
FUN TO MAKE AND THAT YOU KNOW
THE CONFETTI CANNONS GO OFF
AND ALL THAT BUT MOST OF OUR
JOB GROWTH HAS ACTUALLY BEEN
FROM EXISTING COMPANIES AND
THAT JUST SHOWS THAT
THE ENVIRONMENT AND IT'S
INTERESTING YOU SAY THAT
BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WHO WE
TALKED ABOUT THIS WAS YOUR
QUOTE BACK AND IN TWENTY
ELEVEN WHEN WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT JOBS IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT
GOING OUT AND BRINGING NEW
FOLKS HERE MOST OF OUR NEW
JOBS ARE CREATED BY SMALL
BUSINESSES THAT ARE ALREADY
EXISTING IN TENNESSEE WE'RE
GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THAT
EASIER ON THEM TO DO THAT
WHAT SPECIFICALLY DO YOU
THINK YOU CAN HELP CHANGE
THAT HAS MADE IT BETTER
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT FOR
LOCAL BUSINESS BY TWO OR
THREE THINGS A MAGAZINE
SPECIFIC PSALM WHERE THE TORT
REFORM BILL THAT MADE
THE BUSINESS SOME ARE BETTER
WE CHANGE HOW WORKERS
COMPENSATION WORKS OF MICHAEL
THAT INSANE OR EXCITING BUT
THE AVERAGE BUSINESS TODAY
INTIMACY PACE FORTY NINE
PERCENT LESS IN WORKERS' COMP
CLAIMS IT THEN THAN THEY DID
BEFORE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT WE
DIDN'T MAKE IT MORE PUNITIVE
TO THE WORKER WE JUST MADE A
MORE EFFICIENT PROCESSING GOT
EVERYBODY BACK TO WORK FASTER
SO WE'VE DONE SOME VERY
SPECIFIC THINGS LIKE THAT IN
THE END OF THE DAY BEEN A
STATE WITH LOW TAXES WERE
COMING HOME NO INCOME TAX
DEAL WHEN WE GO AND SELL WE
HAVE TWO OR THREE BIG
ADVANTAGES AND TO SAY ONE IS
WHICH SET A GOOD PLACE ON
THE MAP. I LOVE THAT A WE
HAVE THIS WIN SOME GREAT
GOVERNOR BUT JUST A GOOD
PLACE ON A MAP TO GET TO
PEOPLE BUT SECOND NO INCOME
TAX GETS PEOPLE'S ATTENTION
REALLY QUICK NEW DAY THIS
REALLY YOUR SYNOPSIS FROM
EIGHT YEARS AGO BY
THE PRESENT. LET'S LOOK AT
YOURS OUT YET WHAT ARE YOUR
PROJECTIONS GOING FORWARD AS
FAR AS THE GROWTH I CAN SEE
REALLY IS POSITIONED WELL WE
HAVE WITH AS MANY PEOPLE KIND
OF COMPANIES INTERESTED IN
TENNESSEE NOW IT KIND OF IN
THE PIPELINE IS YOU IF YOU
WILL AS EVER. I STILL SEE
THAT ORGANIC GROWTH WE TAKE
IT AND LIKE KNOXVILLE EAST
TENNESSEE HAD ALL THAT MANY
BIG JOB ANNOUNCEMENTS BUT
THE MARKET HAS GROWN
CONSISTENTLY THREE FOUR
PERCENT SINCE SINCE SINCE ME
AND THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS SO
I THINK IN THAT THE BUSINESS
ENVIRONMENTS GOOD IT SOMETIME
I THINK THAT THE COUNTRY'S
ECONOMY IS DUE FOR A LITTLE
BIT OF A CORRECTION WE'VE
BEEN ON A PRETTY LONG PERIOD
OF GROWTH AND JUST LAW OF
AVERAGES WOULD TAKE SOME TIME
IN THE NEXT GOVERNOR'S TERM
THAT WILL BE SOME SORT OF
ECONOMIC CORRECTION IF YOU
WILL WHICH WILL STILL HOPE
IT'S NOT TOO SEVERE BECAUSE
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH TOWNS LIKE
LIKE WE DID TEN YEARS AGO AND
THOSE ARE HER GUT CHECK TIME
FOR EVERYBODY. MUCH OF
THE CAMPAIGN BETWEEN THE TWO
MEN WHO'D LIKE TO TAKE YOUR
JOB RIGHT. HIS BET ON HEALTH
CARE WHAT TO ROBERT'S POINT
WAS YOUR HOME PARK IN THAT
EFFORT AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT
SORT OF SHOW LOSS OF
THE SLATE YOU TO THIS I MEAN
IF YES MOST PEOPLE IT SO WELL
HALLMARK THERE WOULD BE
THE FACT THAT YOU ENTER A
PROPOSAL THAT DIDN'T TAKE OFF
WE CALLED INSURE TENNESSEE IN
AN EFFORT TO COVER MORE
PEOPLE THROUGH TEN CARE
MEDICARE WHAT MOST STATES CA
MEDICAID AND MY IDEA WAS TO
TAKE THAT POPULATION THAT WAS
GOING TO UP TWO HUNDRED AND
THIRTY FIVE PERCENT OF
THE POVERTY LEVEL THAT WAS
GOING TO BE PRIMARILY COVERED
UNDER THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
IN HAD SOME MORE MARKET
INCENTIVE SOME INCENTIVES FOR
HEALTHY BEHAVIOR ON THE PART
OF THE USER AND SOME
INCENTIVES FOR MORE
ECONOMICAL CHEER ON
THE PROVIDERS FOR OUR
LEGISLATURE THEY FELT LIKE IT
WAS WELL YOU CAN CALL IT WHAT
YOU WANT BUT IT STILL
OBAMACARE AND WE DON'T WANT
TO BE A PART OF THAT SO WE
COULDN'T GET PAST THAT
ECONOMIC HURDLE EVEN THOUGH I
THINK WHAT WE DESIGNED IS
WHAT REPUBLIC WAS CLOSE TO
WHAT REPUBLICANS WOULD DO IF
WE HAD A CHANCE TO SHOW TO
FOLLOW UP ON THAT. SHOULD
STATES TAKE A MORE ACTIVE AND
RESPONSIBLE ROLE MOVING FOR
OR IS IT A QUESTION OF
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
WRITING THAT SHIP. WELL YOU
KNOW ACTUALLY THINK I'LL TAKE
YOUR QUESTION CAN RAISE A
PRESENCE ON THE GOVERNOR BUT
I THINK THAT STATES WERE
DESIGNED TO HAVE MORE
INFLUENCE THAN WE HAVE NOW
RELATIVE TO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT. I THINK IF YOU
LET STATES MAKE MORE THOSE
DECISIONS WE WOULD DO IT MORE
ECONOMICALLY WE BE MORE
EFFICIENT AND I COULD DO IT
WITH WITH A BETTER STRATEGIC
INSIDE ME WAS THE MAYOR OF
KNOXVILLE I STILL I CAN TELL
YOU HOW MANY CARS WERE IN
THE STATE OF THE CITY'S FLEE
POLICE CARS I CAN TAKE
EXACTLY AM A SWORN OFFICERS
WE HAVE AS GOVERNOR I CAN
TELL YOU THAT OK IN
THE COUNTRY SO BIG THERE'S NO
WAY THE PRESIDENT CONGRESS
NOBODY CAN RESIST TOO MUCH
AND I THINK IF WE BREAK IT
DOWN INTO FIFTY SUB SETS. I
THINK YOU'D SEE A MORE
EFFECTIVE WAY TO GOVERN
INTERESTING THE WAY THINGS
ARE SEEN AS IN PEOPLE BASED
ON REAL TIME YOU KNOW I'M ON
MY LOCAL TAXES CUTS WERE
NOWHERE TO GO IN AND I FEEL
LIKE I KNOW WHAT I'M GETTING
STATE TEXAS. I FEEL OKAY
ABOUT HOW TO GET IT ALL ABOUT
WINS AND THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT THINK YOU CAN IF
YOU MADE IT CLOSER TO HOME
THAN WE ALL OWN A DECISION IF
A STATE SAID HERE'S HOW WE
WANTED TO MEDICATE THAN LET
