Your tax dollars and how they're spent have a non-profit group stepping up their criticism of Tennessee's state government.

Tuesday in Nashville, the Beacon Center released its annual Pork Report.

This year, the group called out what it considers $468 million worth of government waste.

Among the laundry list of concerns, the report singles out tax breaks for the Gaylord-Dollywood water park.

The report also hammers state golf courses, which continue to lose money, as well as the more than $24,000 spent for live plants in state buildings.
