State lawmakers cut taxes, voted to allow armed guards in schools, and accomplished the rare feat of ending their session in April.Along the way, there were some key pieces of legislation passed – and defeated – during the first session of the 108th Tennessee General Assembly.When it comes to lower taxes, lawmakers reduced the sales tax on groceries from 5.25 percent to 5 percent. This will save taxpayers an estimated $23 million statewide.Gun enthusiasts also emerged as big winners as a guns in parking lots measure passed to allow people with handgun carry permits to store firearms in their vehicles – no matter where they are parked. A bill to block public access to a database of handgun carry permit holders was also successful.Among the losers this legislative session was the annual wine in supermarkets bill.
