I just find it so interesting the way people choose to interpret the instructions Jesus gave in order to fit the evangelical lifestyle they have chosen to follow. Matthew 6:5-6 is one of the most explicit sets of instruction Jesus gives in the entire New Testament.

Gotcha with that one, didn't I.  lol<br>
<br>
That old thing is older than I am, hell dating all the way back to slavery and right after. You see, color was equated with who had the most human character (white)  So, the light skin blacks were given the best jobs on the plantation, working in the big house and even after slavery and, in a lot of places, even today, the light skinned, fair haired blacks get the best jobs and are the first hired.

      <![CDATA[@ Joey, why the backhanded compliment? Many of these community actors (including the director) frequently work at this town's professional theatre company (POTS).<br>
<br>
To say that it is an "incredibly impressive production" is enough, don't you think?

There are no rules listed in the constitution. the constitution says the budget must be balanced.

Where are you getting your data ? I am not trying to be mean, but here's what I have.<br>
<br>
2012 State of TN unfunded liabilities (OPEB) $3.056 billion, with a population of 6.456 million people.<br>
<br>
Memphis unfunded liabilities (OPEB) $1.34 billion, with a population of 655,155 people.<br>
<br>
State has 10X the number of people in the state. <br>
<br>
Sleep well.

      <![CDATA[“If the budget does not comply with the provisions of this chapter, then the state director shall have the power and the authority to direct the governing body of the local government to adjust its estimates or to make additional tax levies sufficient to comply with the provisions of this chapter.”<br>
<br>
It looks like the state does have the authority to make them adjust their budget if it is not within the standards set by the Comptroller and the constitution. The budget must "comply" with the state rules.
