This represents a new low for the Tennessee legislature when it comes to protecting the backbone of the state: It's workers. A fast track by the governor threatens to create a new bureaucracy that supporters confess will be a multi-million dollar burden on tax payers and will now give a break to employers when they fire able bodied workers. With higher costs for taxpayers, rewards for employers targeting injured workers, and more hardships for the injured, we may have one of the most perfectly awful bills seen out of Nashville in years.
