Businessman and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mike McWherter said today that he will use tax breaks and training at community colleges to help create job growth in Tennessee.
“And I’ll do it without imposing a state income tax,” Mr. McWherter said while at Chattanooga State Community College. “You don’t create Tennessee jobs by putting a state income tax on the backs of our businesses and families.”
Mr. McWherter stopped in Chattanooga today as part of a five-city campaign blitz. He also had planned stops in Knoxville and in the Tri-Cities area of Bristol, Kingsport and Johnson City earlier today.
He said he would stop in Memphis and Jackson, Tenn., later on in the day.
