Finance committee to hear treasurer; Tennessee State Museum exhibition and grants highlighted
Summary
Senator Watson announced a Finance Committee meeting at 1:30 p.m. to hear testimony from the treasurer and highlighted the Tennessee State Museum's "Tennessee Voices" exhibition tied to America's 250th, noting grant money is available for local participation.
Senator Watson said the Finance Committee will meet at 1:30 p.m. in Senate Hearing Room 1 to hear testimony from the treasurer and encouraged members to attend or tune in.
"This afternoon, finance will meet at 01:30 in Senate Hearing Room 1. We will hear testimony from the treasurer, and I would encourage members to either attend," he said.
Watson also called attention to a Tennessee State Museum exhibition titled "Tennessee Voices," describing it as part of America's 250th celebrations and urging members to check with local governments and organizations about grant opportunities.
"It's entitled Tennessee Voices, American South Tennessee and how Tennessee was involved in the creation of our constitution... There's grant money available for La Porte, America's 250th, birthday," Watson said, and he noted that the museum director is coordinating America's 250 celebrations across the state.
Why it matters: committee hearings are opportunities for oversight and for receiving fiscal information from the treasurer; the museum exhibition and associated grants may provide local governments and cultural organizations with funding and programming opportunities tied to the state's role in the nation's 250th anniversary.
