Lawmakers will soon tackle the issue of whether to give government-paid employees a round of one-time bonuses, as proposed in Gov. Phil Bredesen’s FY2011 budget unveiled earlier this month.
Bredesen wants to draw $164.7 million from state reserves to fund the bonus, which is slated for state employees, K-12 educators and higher education workers.
If lawmakers adopt the plan, they can shape the size of bonuses however they see fit.
