This Was Not Unexpected
And it's a classy move by Tennessee's new governor. Not only does Gov. Phil Bredesen forego his annual salary, he finds a way to economize in the governor's office, the Tennessean reports: Bredesen "said he was able to increase salaries for staffers in the governor's office and stay within budget by having fewer people work for him." Imagine that. Here's hoping the rest of state government takes its cue from Gov. Bredesen's actions.

UPDATE: the Memphis Flyer likes Bredesen's initial moves.
