"It is a great career opportunity for young people," Gatton said of his reasons for supporting the college. "Prospective students will be able to attend ETSU without going all the way to Memphis for their education. We have an aging population, and trained pharmacists are essential for the health care of our older citizens.” In addition to the contribution, Gatton issued an invitation to his friends - fellow automobile dealers and others - to support the college. He is willing to match up to an additional $400,000 in gifts by these friends on a "dollar-for-dollar" basis for contributions made before April 30, 2006. In May 2005, Gatton donated $400,000 to the school, which allowed ETSU to reach the initial $5 million set by Gov. Phil Bredesen as a requirement for seeking authorization for the pharmacy school through the Tennessee Board of Regents and the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. cy ma elf. har d its of P ente lege pres gifts Col has new by for unity r all ved ion port olla ecei on’s itat t op for-d cy r Gatt Inv g gif llar- arma Mr. eed ton chin do f Ph 00. exc Gat mat atch ge o 00,0 also ique ill m olle l $4 but un on w U C tiona eet, ge.

    PHIL BREDESEN Governor OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR State Capitol Nashville, TN 37243-0001 (615) 741-2001 TN.gov/governor PHILIP NORMAN BREDESEN (D) Governor of Tennessee Phil Bredesen took office as Tennessee’s 48th governor on January 18, 2003, delivering on a promise to leave stale political debates behind and focus on achiev- ing real results for families. In November 2006, he was re-elected in a landslide victory – reportedly becoming the first governor in over a century to win all 95 counties in Tennessee. Bredesen’s strong voter mandate stems, in part, from his commitment to ac- countability and open government. During his first year in office, Bredesen threw open the doors to administrative budget hearings, allowing taxpayers to see for the first time the decisions that are made on how their money is spent. In year one, Bredesen worked with the General Assembly to manage the state through a fiscal crisis without raising taxes or cutting funding for education. By Bredesen’s fourth year in office, Tennessee had passed four balanced budgets, received improved rankings from national bond rating agencies, and raised its rainy day fund to a record high. Bredesen set clear priorities for the state, beginning with Tennessee’s number one priority – education. He raised teacher pay above the Southeastern average and expanded the state’s pilot Pre-K initiative into a program for four-year-olds across the state. Bredesen also led the General Assembly to increase education funding by a record $366.5 million. Under Bredesen’s leadership, Tennessee is raising standards in K-12 education by implementing a rigorous curriculum and specific, relevant skills that students will meet by the time they finish high school.

This explains why some of the items predate the Bredesen administration. While some themes are contained within a single series, materials relating to several topics of interest run throughout the collection, including but not limited to Title VI (Boxes 41, 479, 484, 592, 769, 821, and 935), Hurricane Katrina (Boxes 478, 545, 760, 935, and 938), and Workers’ Compensation (Boxes 45, 480, 573, 592-594, 772, 940).

    PHIL BREDESEN Governor OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR State Capitol Nashville, TN 37243-0001 (615) 741-2001 Tennessee.gov/governor PHILIP NORMAN BREDESEN (D) Governor of Tennessee Phil Bredesen, the 48th governor of Tennessee, took office January 18, 2003, with a promise to “focus energy on real results by leaving behind predictable and stale political debates.” During his first year in office, Bredesen brought a new level of candor, openness and accountability to state government. In one of his first acts as Governor, he opened the door to administrative budget hearings, allowing taxpayers to see for the first time the decisions that are made on how their money is spent. His first three executive orders established the toughest ethics rules in the history of Tennessee’s executive branch. He managed the State through a fiscal crisis without raising taxes or cutting funding for education. Most of all, he instilled a renewed confidence that government can work on behalf of its citizens for the betterment of the entire state. Years Two and Three brought more progress. Bredesen pushed measures to improve education, including raising teacher pay above the Southeastern average and expanding Tennessee’s pre- kindergarten program as part of a statewide initiative. To recruit new industry and jobs, he worked with the General Assembly to reform Tennessee’s workers’ compensation system and invest in retraining programs to help laid-off employees develop new skills in the rapidly changing economy. He launched Tennessee’s war on methamphetamine abuse by focusing on treatment, prevention and public awareness, as well as enhanced criminal penalties and resources for law enforcement.

    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives Office of the First Lady: Andrea Conte Papers, 2003-2011 RG 335 COLLECTION SUMMARY Creator: Conte, Andrea, 1941- Inclusive Dates: 2003-2011 Scope & Content: The Office of the First Lady: Andrea Conte Papers, 2003-2011, cover Conte’s eight years as First Lady and are filed in fifteen boxes. Several key events are covered in these papers, including items relating to the 2008 presidential debate held at Belmont University; the 2003, 2007, and 2011 gubernatorial inaugurations; and the restoration of the Tennessee Executive Residence. The residence restoration was a controversial issue for local media, and the correspondence from opposing sides reflects this. The First Lady spearheaded the initiative to restore the aging Governor’s Mansion in 2003. Several boxes of material pertain to this project, which include grant proposals, press releases, schedules, magazines, newspaper clippings, blueprints, architectural designs, and correspondence from taxpayers, contractors, builders, and politicians. A photocopy of the original construction manual from the Wills Mansion, as it was known then, is among the items. Along with the restoration of the Tennessee Executive Residence, First Lady Andrea Conte devoted a large amount of time to helping children and raising awareness of child abuse. Her vehicle for this was Andrea Walks, a day by day trek that covered the state’s three Grand Divisions. The First Lady spoke at many events to raise awareness of the issue in addition to being the force behind Andrea Walks. Materials pertaining to the initiative are primarily schedules of daily events, correspondence, and photographs.
