Gov. Bill Haslam said his plan to outsource management and operation of all state-owned buildings and real estate will save the state $35.8 million a year. The Times Free Press reports that the figure includes state property and protection for all existing state jobs. Haslam also told the state legislature and the public that $10.6 million of the amount is projected for University of Tennessee's statewide campuses, with current employees protected. The plan has drawn criticism from lawmakers and UT employees.
