Description
Calendar & Rules Committee of Extraordinary Session II- House Hearing Room 1- October 20, 2021
A
A
A
B
Okay,
seeing
none
we'll
jump
right
into
our
calendar,
we
have
two
bills
on
our
calendar
members.
If
you
are
familiar
with
this
committee
at
all,
we
typically
move
very
quickly
in
this
committee,
but
we'll
slow
down
this
morning
give
everyone
time
to
ask
questions.
I
know
there
was
an
amendment
added
in
finance
and
I've
already
been
asked
a
question
about
that,
so
those
questions
will
be
directed
to
the
sponsor,
so
we
will
still
move
quickly,
but
we
will
take
our
time
and
not
reach
anybody.
B
B
We
have
a
motion
and
second
bills
properly
before
us
members
discussions
or
questions
leader
lamberth.
Actually
you
know
what
leader
lambreth
we'll
go
to
you
first,
if
you'd
like
to
give
a
brief
explanation,
if
you
is
this,
and
then
also
is
this
the
bill
that
we
just
added
the
amendment
to
in
finance
leader.
C
Mr
chairman,
if
we're
on
8002,
this
is
the
appropriation
bill.
Okay,
and
this
is
not
a
bill
that
we
just
added
amendment
to
in
finance.
This
is
in
essence,
as
it
was
filed.
There
may
have
been
them
looking
at
legal
if
they're
in
the
room
there.
May
I
don't
even
think
there's
been
a
technical
correction
on
this
one.
I
think
this
is
as
filed.
Okay,
thank
you,
leader,.
D
Thank
you
chairman.
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you,
mr
sponsor,
for
being
here
today
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
ask
questions.
I've
not
had
an
opportunity
to
ask
any
questions.
I
have
many
I'll
try
to
keep
them
down
to
minimal
leader
lamberth.
I
have
a
question
in
the
appropriations
bill
where
it
says
section
two
in
capital
outlay.
C
Absolutely
not
not
in
any
way
shape,
form
or
fashion.
What
we're
doing
is
a
shared
venture.
It's
a
public-private
partnership,
just
as
we
do
every
single
year
with
growing
american
companies
that
will
invest
in
areas
of
tennessee
that,
quite
frankly,
just
based
on
the
bottom
line.
They
probably
would
not
do
so.
You
and
I
share
a
district
that
is
thriving
and
quite
frankly,
needs
very
little
economic
incentive
in
any
kind
of
public-private
partnership
for
businesses
to
come
there.
There
are
lots
of
there's
lots
of
infrastructure,
middle
tennessee,
there's
lots
of
employees
in
middle
tennessee.
C
Quite
frankly,
there's
an
enormous
amount
of
wealth
in
middle
tennessee.
When
you
travel
between
jackson
and
memphis,
the
opposite
is
true:
there
is
very
little
infrastructure,
there
is
very
little
wealth
and,
quite
frankly,
you
meet
a
number
of
people.
At
least
I
have
in
my
life
that
say
they
are
from
that
area.
They
no
longer
live
in
that
area.
The
families
there
and
I
know
representative,
hurt
and
gant
can
talk
to
this.
C
They
cannot
dream
of
their
children
growing
up
in
their
community,
so
it
takes
the
rest
of
us
in
tennessee
from
time
to
time,
to
partner
with
certain
communities
and
yes,
certain
private
entities,
so
that
we're
investing
884
million
dollars
of
surplus
funds
we
under
spend
our
budget
every
year.
Why
don't?
We
wish
that
certain
other
states
and
the
feds,
and
even
some
individuals
and
businesses,
would
do
that?
C
It's
a
good
budgeting
method
that,
as
republicans
and
democrats,
we
have
done
for
decades
in
tennessee,
and
we
have
surplus
one-time
funds
to
be
able
to
spend
on
this
in
literally
a
public-private
partnership,
whether
they
make
money
or
not,
is
entirely
up
to
these
businesses
that
locate
there.
What
we
are
requiring
of
them
is
that
for
our
884
million
dollar
investment,
they
are
investing
approximately
almost
6
billion
so
far
exceeding
anything.
We
are
actually
investing
and
again
of
part
of
that
investment.
C
Just
as
a
reminder,
138
million
of
that
is
really
more
for
the
water
40
million
is
for
a
tcat.
200
million
is
for
roads.
Those
are
hard
infrastructure
items
that
are
needed
in
that
area,
whether
it's
this
project
or
any
project.
It's
going
to
pay
off
for
that
area
for
years
to
come
in
generations
to
come.
So
the
remaining
portion
of
this.
C
These
people
come
and
flock
to
our
county.
My
district
alone
grew
over
20
percent,
the
last
census,
the
area
where
this
investment
is
going
in
has
shrunk
so
for
those
families
there
for
those
individuals
there
we
as
tennesseans
are
partnering
with
businesses
and
with
those
local
individuals
to
ensure
that
they
have
a
good
economic
future
representative.
D
We've
done.
We've
created
a
thriving
atmosphere
for
businesses
to
thrive
here.
That
is
the
reason
why
our
revenues
are
up
all
the
time,
because
people
really
are
leaving
and
fleeing
their
states
to
come
here
so
that
they
can
thrive.
That's
our
job
as
legislators
to
keep
legislation
in
place
so
that
that
can
happen.
I'm
proud
of
that
and
I'm
proud
to
have
worked
alongside
many
of
you
sitting
here
on
this
committee
and
that's
a
good
thing.
What
I'm
not
what
I
am
concerned
of
is
that
we're
picking
winners
and
losers.
D
D
In
fact,
if
I,
if
I'm
not,
if
I'm
understanding
this
correctly,
isn't
ford
a
uaw
organization,
aren't
they
based
on
values
that
we
do
not
hold
here
in
tennessee
when
we're
about
ready
to
add
to
our
constitution
that
we
are
a
right
to
work.
State
help
me
understand
why
this
company
is
everything
that
tennessee
embraces.
C
So
two
quick
things
on
that
and
all
good
questions
and
good
points,
and
thank
you,
my
friend,
for
asking
them
in
ford's
other
facilities
in
other
states.
The
uaw,
which
is
a
completely
separate
entity
and
trust
me
ford
and
both
uaw
would
back
that
up.
I
mean
they
by
definition,
are
sometimes
adversarial
and
sometimes
not
the
uaw
and
ford
so
unions
are.
Are
you
know
something?
That's
just
what
they
are
they're
a
separate
entity.
C
So
ford
itself
is
a
company
and
they're
an
american
company
that
makes
iconic
vehicles
like
the
mustang,
the
f-150
that
I
drive.
I
mean
you
know
that's
what
they
do
and
have
done
so
for
as
long
as
just
about
as
long
as
we've
been
making
automobiles
here
in
this
country,
so
most
of
that
industrial
development,
when
it
comes
to
automobiles,
has
been
up
north
they're,
strong
union
states,
their
laws
on
the
books
are
not
right
to
work
they're,
not
like
tennessee.
C
When,
hopefully
we
pass
this
and
not
just
ford
but
ford
sk
other
companies,
I
mean
I
want
to
be
crystal
clear.
This
is
not
a
bill
about
ford.
Ford
just
happens
to
be
a
large
tenant
on
this
mega
site.
This
is
a
bill
about
the
mega
site
that
we've
been
involved
in
for
over
a
decade
as
a
state.
We
now
have
a
large
tenant
and
several
other
tenants
that
will
be
joining
together
on
a
joint
venture
here
and
be
on
that
property.
C
So
it's
not
about
any
one
company,
but
all
of
the
companies
that
locate
there
just
like
any
other
company
could
their
employees
have
the
right
to
vote
as
to
whether
or
not
to
be
a
union
shop.
That's
a
right
that
they
have.
I
would
hope
that
they
would
choose
not
to
be
next
year
on
the
ballot,
we've
approved
a
constitutional
amendment
to
enshrine
in
our
constitution
that
this
is
a
right
to
work
state,
but
that
doesn't
mean
you
don't
also
have
a
right
to
organize
a
union
if
you
so
desire
to
do
so.
C
I
would
disagree
with
that.
You
obviously
would
disagree
with
that.
I
think
most
of
us
would,
but
that's
those
workers
rights
to
decide
on
their
own,
how
they
want
their
workplace
to
be
so.
It's
not
by
any
means
guaranteed
that
that's
going
to
be
a
union
shop,
that's
going
to
be
up
to
the
workers
that
are
hired
there
and
then
for
them
to
be
able
to
vote.
I
will
indicate
that
you
know
or
just
bring
up
as
an
example.
C
Volkswagen
has
had
that
vote
a
couple
of
times
and
their
workers
there,
even
though
volkswagen
virtually
everywhere
else
is
a
union
shop
have
said
that
they
would
like
to
not
be
a
union
shop
and
be
free
to
engage
with
their
employer
without
that
intermediary.
I
will
say
just
something
that
you
may
have
seen
this
morning.
I'd
like
to
read
a
quote
here.
It
says
tennesseans
will
reap
benefits
in
the
billions
with
the
successful
completion
of
ford
motor
companies,
blue
oval
city.
That's
just
a
part
of
this
mega
site.
C
C
So
I
mean
that's
a
person
who,
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
is
one
of
the
most
renowned
conservative
economists
out
there
his
stamp
approval
on
this
means
a
lot
to
me.
I
figured
I'd
at
least
bring
that
up.
He
evaluates
these
things
all
day
every
day
and
that's
his
evaluation
of
at
least
this
particular
structure.
D
Thank
you
and
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
indulgence.
I
appreciate
it
just
one
more
question.
If
I
didn't,
I
wrap
my
math
right,
I
figured
out
that,
with
the
884
million
to
create
5
800
jobs
that
tennessee's
tennesseans
are
paying
a
hundred
and
fifty
two
thousand
four
hundred
and
thirteen
dollars
per
job
created,
we're
paying
that
for
one
job
created
and
we're
not
guaranteed
any
of
these
jobs,
I'm
hoping
that
they
do
get
jobs
but
again.
D
That's
my
question:
that's
just
not
even
a
question,
it's
a
statement,
but
I'm
very
concerned
with
the
process
that
we
are.
We
are
we.
We
are
beginning
to
start
here
in
the
state
of
tennessee
when
it
comes
to
bringing
jobs
here.
I
just
really
think
that
we
have
done
an
amazing
job
by
creating
the
businesses
that
have
come
here
by
allowing
free
market
to
work
on
its
own
without
having
help
of
government.
D
I
think
it's
very
dangerous
precedent
going
forward
because
we
end
up
creating
corporations
that
are
in
cahoots
with
governments
that
very
much
so
go
against
the
very
things
I
as
a
conservative
stand
for
in
the
state
of
tennessee
and
my
district
as
as
well.
I
believe
that,
on
my
push
card
that
I
have
had
since
I've
been
elected
in
2009,
it
says
terri,
lynn
and
weaver,
faithful
to
our
values.
D
C
Absolutely,
mr
chairman,
and
thank
you
for
those
comments.
We've
been
friends
for
years
and
will
always
remain
so.
I
could
not
possibly
disagree
with
you
more
as
an
ardent
conservative,
a
public-private
partnership.
We
do
every
single
year
and
for
all
of
us
that
have
voted
and
all
of
us,
though,
that
have
voted
for
the
budgets.
We
have
invested
anywhere
from
100
to
300
million
dollars
a
year
in
ecd
projects
throughout
this
state.
C
It's
difficult
for
me
to
say
no
to
west
tennessee
when
we've
said
yes
to
sumner
county
when
we've
said
yes
to
other
counties
when
we've
said
yes
over
and
over
and
over
again,
as
conservative
lawmakers,
it's
just
hard
for
me
to
look
at
the
folks
from
jackson
and
memphis
and
say
we
said
yes
to
everything
else,
but
we're
going
to
say
no
to
you
and
I
respect
your
vote.
I
always
haven't
always
will-
and
I
know
you
to
be
an
artist
conservative
and
a
dear
friend
and
a
passionate
advocate
for
your
district.
C
I'll
tell
a
little
quick
story
and
then
I'll
shut
up,
but
I
was
sitting
on
the
back
porch
with
my
10
year
old
son,
the
other
day,
and
it
it
warmed
my
heart
as
a
father,
because
he
pointed
at
the
field
next
to
us,
which
I
didn't
have
the
heart
to
break
to
him.
Didn't
didn't
break
it
to
him.
We
didn't
own,
but
he
said
daddy.
C
That's
that's
just
cool
y'all,
and
so
I
want
the
folks
in
west
tennessee
to
be
able
to
do
that,
instead
of
call
their
kids
every
now
and
again,
wherever
they're
living,
because
they
couldn't
get
a
job
in
their
own
hometown.
So
I'm
with
you,
but
this
is
how
we
get
that
done
and-
and
I
hope
that
the
rest
of
this
committee
will
support
this
and
again
I
I
absolutely
respect
the
fact
that
you
will
not,
but
it's
just
as
a
conservative.
B
A
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
thank
you
leader
for
bringing
this
spill.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
then
I
have
a
question.
I
have
a
little
experience
with
automotive
plants,
it's
not
in
my
district,
but
it
backs
up
against
three
rural
counties
that
I
represent:
bradley,
polk
and
meigs,
and
I
have
probably
hundreds
of
residents
citizens
who
work
at
that
facility,
and
I
can
tell
you
they're
glad
it's
there
because
it
has
raised
their
status.
A
C
And
as
the
chairman
of
transportation,
this
is
a
conversation
you
and
I
have
had
for
many
years.
There
are
ecd
projects
that
come
out
of
tdot's
budget
every
single
year,
and
I
had
mentioned
this
earlier.
No
one's
corrected
me,
so
I
think
the
number
is
somewhere
between
70
to
80
million,
that's
out
of
tdot's
budget,
that's
from
the
the
gas
tax
and
everything
else,
but
when
it's
an
ecd
project
that
goes
away
from
everything
from
filling
potholes
to
expanding
lanes,
to
safety
projects
and
yes,
that's
necessary.
C
But
the
conversation
the
chairman
and
I
have
had
is
why
shouldn't
that
come
out
of
the
general
fund.
If
it's
an
ecd
project,
why
should
it
have
to
come
out
of
tdot's
budget
just
because
it
happens
to
involve
pavement?
And
so
this
200
million
dollars
comes
out
of
unsplit,
unspent
surplus
dollars,
and
so
does
all
of
this
bill
quite
frankly
that
we
all
left
on
the
table
last
year
that
we
chose
not
to
spend.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
I
know
there's
much
debate
about
this
as
we
go
forward.
I
think
there's
a
couple
things
not
to
lose
perspective
on
is
is
one
of
the
things
that
we
had
to
do
years
ago
was
put
in
clawbacks,
because
what
we
have
learned
is
sometimes
there
were
deals
that
were
made
and
they
were
not
fully
followed
through
on
and
the
state
did
not
have
the
capability
of
achieving
the
money
that
we
put
in
back
for
an
outcome
that
we
did
not
get.
E
E
I
think
this
investment
into
west
tennessee
will
return
our
investment
three-fold
over
easy
over
the
life
of
this
this
manufacturing
plant,
and
so
is
it
a
lot
of
money?
That
could
be
argued?
Yes,
but
will
we
have
a
return
investment
that
you
would
want
if
you
were
running
a
business
or
if
you
were
investing
in
the
market?
Yes,
you
would,
and
so
does
that
mean
it's
better
for
the
state
of
tennessee?
Yes,
it
does.
B
Thank
you
speaker
before
I
go
to
representative
beck
leader.
I
think
speaker
brought
up
a
good
point
regarding
clawbacks
you
and
I
have
had
this
discussion
a
few
times.
My
concern
related
to
making
sure
we
hold
ford
and
any
company
that's
coming
into
the
mega
site,
accountable
from
what
I've
read
in
the
legislation.
The
clawbacks
on
this
look
different
than
any
other
ecd
legislation.
I've
looked
at
in
the
four
terms
I've
been
here.
Can
you
go
into
that
in
a
little
more
detail
from
the
members?
Please
leader,
you
recognize
famous.
C
C
F
C
Leader
lamberth
great
question:
this
will
not
come
from
ecd's
current
budget.
Their
budget
could
not
handle
this.
This
is
an
investment
beyond
that
scope,
and
so
this
will
come
from
again
unspent
resources
that
we
left
on
the
table
in
this
past
year's
budget.
We're
not
amending
that
budget.
We're
not
changing
that
we're
not
taking
anything
out
of
that
budget.
This
is
literally
over
collections
that
have
come
in
above
and
beyond
the
budgeted
amount
that
we
spent
this
last
year
and
we're
not
taking
anything
out
of
the
rainy
day
fund.
C
That
would
be,
I
think,
a
bad
idea.
In
this
circumstance
I
mean
that's
our
savings.
We've
built
that
up
over
the
years,
it's
the
highest
level,
I
believe
it's
ever
been,
and
so
this
is
not
coming
from
any
day
fund.
This
is
literally
coming
from
surplus
dollars
that
are
over
collections
to
this
juncture.
F
Yes,
very
good.
Second
question
is
you
mentioned
s
and
k,
I've
tried
to
google
them
several
times
and
it
says
they're
a
petroleum
company
can.
Can
you
tell
me
about
snk
and
if
they've
worked
out
a
a
joint
agreement
with
ford
at
this
point
or
what?
What
is
their
role
in
this
development
leader
lamrith.
C
By
the
way,
to
my
knowledge,
I
don't
think
I've
ever
actually
spoken
anybody
from
ford
leadership
or
sk.
I
don't
know
these
folks
and
I
don't
know
the
history
of
their
companies
other
than
what
I've
shared
with
the
committee.
I
know
ford
because
we
all
know
ford
the
sk.
I
think
it's
sk
innovations,
it's
a
battery
manufacturer,
so
they're
in
a
shared
joint
venture
with
ford,
where
they're,
making
the
batteries
ford's
making
the
trucks-
and
you
know
obviously
they're
on
the
site,
putting
that
together,
hopefully
with
multiple
other
tenants
for
that
site.
C
So
I
don't
know
the
history
of
that
particular
company,
but
I
know,
regardless
of
what
their
history
is,
those
same
clawback
provisions
are
going
to
apply
to
them
in
this
joint
venture
so
that
same
10-year
clawback.
Provision
is
going
to
apply
to
this,
regardless
of
what
their
background
is
and
the
state
will
be
protected
against
bankruptcy.
So
for
some
reason
this
went
very
bad
on
their
investment.
C
I
mean
again
it's
almost
a
6
billion
dollar
investment
for
ford
and
sk,
and
I
think
it's
sk
somebody
correct
me
on
that,
but
I
think
it's
sk
innovations,
so
we
are
protected
even
from
bankruptcy.
From
that
I
mean
they
can't
bankrupt
on
this
commitment
and
if
they
don't
meet
their
commitments
on
the
job
creation,
then
we
get
we
get
the
people's
money
back.
F
There
that
I
know
and
second
quest.
Lastly,
I
know
we
were
talking
about
58
direct
5800
direct
jobs
to
the
manufacturing
facility,
but
how
many
spin-off
jobs
do
we
do?
We
estimate
you
know
with
with
the
the
the
dashboards
and
and
the
upholstery-
and
I
know
it's
with
with
with
nissan
something
like
20
000,
spin-off
jobs.
So
what
are
we?
What
are
we
looking
at
for
spin-off
jobs
above
and
beyond
the
50
5800
jobs
at
the
plant.
C
So
about
says
about
27
000
jobs
is
what
they're
estimating
the
area
with
over
a
billion
dollars
of
earnings,
and
then
it
would
contribute
approximately
three
and
a
half
billion
dollars
each
year
to
tennessee's
growth,
state
product.
Those
are
estimates,
and
I
will
tell
you
I
mean
I
appreciate
you
asking
the
question,
but
the
reason
that
we've
not
really
included
that
in
the
a
lot
of
the
discussion
we've
had,
is
that
the
return
on
investment
specifically
of
the
people's
money,
which
we're
spending
tax
dollars
to
invest
in
this?
C
How
long
would
it
take
for
those
tax
dollars
to
come
back
in
all
of
those
and
all
that
ancillary
growth
just
speeds
that
equation
up,
but
anytime,
I'm
presenting
a
bill?
I
try
to
give
you
kind
of
the
most
conservative
and
almost
you
know
kind
of
most
careful
presentation
of
how
long
it
would
take
and
15
years
is
kind
of
the
outside,
with
all
the
rest
of
that
growth.
If
it
happens
as
fast
as
they
anticipate,
I
mean
that
could
be
10
years
or
less,
but
15
years
is
kind
of
the
outside.
B
G
G
In
my
community,
the
concern
is
just
a
such
large
amount
of
money,
such
a
big
bucket
of
money
that
is
being
spent
and
people
are
overwhelmed
by
it
and
they
want
to
know.
When
will
we
get
a
return
on
this
investment
and
they
see
the
need
most
of
the
people
in
my
community
know
about
west
tennessee
and
they
see
the
need
and
how
the
I
tell
them
about
the
mega
site
that
has
been
waiting
for
a
suitable
person
to
take
it.
They
are
impressed
by
it.
G
But
yet,
as
I
said,
they
worry
when
you
say,
500
million
or
800
million
plus
money,
the
one
thing
going
from
those
mega
numbers
to
micro
numbers.
What
I
find
is
that
I'm
trying
to
buy
a
car,
one
of
our
cars
needs
to
be
traded
and
the
prices
are
really
up.
There
are
no
discounts,
and
the
reason,
of
course,
is
shortage
of
chips
as
well
as
shortage
of
parts
and
so
on,
and
I
think
no
that's
too
much.
G
G
It
is
still
worth
to
improve
the
lives
of
tennesseans
in
west
tennessee
and
overall,
it
is
still
worth
to
do
this,
although
we
do
it
with
concerns,
and
I
think
the
way
the
legislation
is
crafted,
including
the
clawbacks,
as
well
as
various
controls
and
the
way
the
board
will
function,
I'm
comfortable
with
it
and
thank
you
for
doing
it,
but
I
thought
it
is
really
the
market
driving
the
price,
no
matter
how
high
it
is.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
thank.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out.
I
don't
believe
the
speaker
the
leader
has
mentioned
today,
but
in
addition
to
the
long-term
jobs
that
we're
talking
about
and
the
return
on,
the
investment
in
that
regard,
there's
also
an
almost
immediate
return
on
investment.
When
this
construction
starts
on
this
project,
there's
going
to
be
a
huge
number
of
jobs
related
to
the
construction
itself,
there's
going
to
be
sales
tax
revenues
related
to
the
materials
that
are
bought
to
go
into
the
construction
and
again
to
tag
on
to
chairman
howell's
comments.
H
But
it
is
not
only
the
indirect
jobs
that
will
come
later,
but
it's
all
of
the
ancillary
things
you
know
these
people
who
are
going
to
come
to
work
for
the
construction
are
going
to
need
places
to
stay
they're
going
to
need
food
to
eat.
So
there's
going
to
be
just
a
tremendous
economic
impact,
positive
economic
impact
almost
from
day
one
which
is
only
going
to
grow
as
the
operations
are
up
and
running.
H
I
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
and
leader
lambert.
Thank
you
for
the
explanation
of
what
you've
gone
through
this
morning.
That's
clear
that
you're
the
right
person
to
be
carrying
this
legislation,
great
great
description
of
what
we've
got
here,
and
I
want
to
echo
some
of
the
sentiments
that
I've
heard.
I
think
this
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
for
tennessee,
and
I
agree
with
our
speaker
that
you
know
ford's
not
gonna
change,
tennessee,
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna
change
forward.
I
One
thing
I
did
as
I
looked
through
this-
and
this
is
not
a
criticism
by
any
means,
rather
just
a
statement
that
I
want
to
make,
and
that's
something
that
I
know
is
near
and
dear
to
your
heart
as
well
leader.
But
when
we
talk
about
growing
infrastructure,
we
think
about
bridges,
we
think
about
roads.
We
think
about
pipelines
and
we
think
about
ford
motor
company.
We
often
overlook
public
safety
infrastructure,
and
so
I
will
be
watching
very
closely
over
the
next
few
years.
As
this
part
of
the
state
grows,
lord
willen.
I
That
is
certainly
our
intention,
but
we'll
need
to
keep
a
close
eye
on
public
safety
measures
and
fundings,
for
you
know
things
like
judges
and
law
enforcement
and
public
safety
and
those
kinds
of
things
so
as
as
one
as
a
part
of
the
state
grows.
Of
course,
we
need
to
look
at
all
that
infrastructure
needs,
so
I
just
want
to
encourage
members
of
this
body
and
you
leader
and-
and
I
know
we'll
work
together
to
continue
monitoring
that,
but
it
is
something
that
that
sort
of
occurred
to
me.
I
B
C
And
I'd
be
remiss,
thank
you
for
your
compliments
on
my
presentation
today.
But
I
will
say,
leader,
gantt
representative
hurt,
have
done
the
bulk
of
the
presentation
at
this
point
of
the
other
committees
and
they
they
were
very
diligent.
To
get
this
as
well
as
a
host
of
other
sponsors
and
and
to
your
point
I'll,
read
you
a
henry
ford
quote
since
they've
been
around
for
I
think,
117
years
I'll.
Look
that
up
real
quick
to
do
more
for
the
world
than
the
world
does
for
you.
That
is
success.
C
A
A
A
C
Thank
you,
and
I
I'll
have
to
get
you
that
answer
that
question.
It
was
my
understanding
as
part
of
this,
what
the
forward
portion
of
it
blue,
oval
city
was
going
to.
You
know,
that's
a
joint
venture
between
ford
and
sk
innovations
and
anyone
else
that
wishes
to
partner
directly
with
them.
The
other
500
acres
is
room
for
growth
that
folks
may
be
outside
of
that
partnership.
J
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
this
is
going
to
change.
As
speaker
said,
and
as
you've
said
later,
it's
going
to
change
this
area
forever
and
and
just
a
few
comments.
You
know
I
hope
we're
not
looking
to
change
ford
and,
I
hope
ford's
not
looking
to
change
tennessee,
but
if
one's
going
to
change
the
other,
I
hope
four
changes
tennessee,
because
the
average
salary
in
tennessee
right
now
is
32
000.
J
C
B
Question
has
been
called:
is
there
objection
to
the
question,
seeing
none
will
vote
on
house
bill
8002,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
no
eyes
have
it
without
objection.
This
will
be
going
on
today's
regular
cow
right
members
that
takes
us
to
the
last
item
on
our
calendar,
which
designed
number
two
which
is
house
bill
8001
by
leader,
lambreth
leader
lambert.
You
recognize.
B
We
have
a
motion
second
bills
properly
before
us
members
before
we
open
up
for
discussion
and
questions
leader,
I'm
going
to
come
to
you
because
we
did
add
an
amendment
in
finance
before
this
bill
came
here
and
it
is
on
this
bill.
I
believe,
could
you
explain
that
amendment
and
then
also,
as
you
explain
that
amendment
some
questions,
I've
gotten
from
east
tennessee
is
about
ensuring
that
there
is
some
type
of
east
tennessee
representation
on
that
board.
C
Mr,
if
I
may-
and
I
may
have
misheard
you-
we
just
finished
eight
zero,
zero.
Two,
I
believe
and
we're
moving
on
to
eight
zero,
zero
one.
Is
that
correct?
That
is
correct,
so
when
you
said
first
time
on
the
calendar,
second,
I
want
to
make
sure
we
are
now
on
back
on
what
we
have
labeled
house
bill,
one,
yes,
and
as
far
as
your
question
as
far
as
representation
on
the
board,
there
was
an
amendment
that
was
added
in
in
the
last
committee,
and
this
is
available
on
your
dashboard.
C
I'm
still
the
one
dinosaur
still
using
paper
in
here,
it's
great
stuff
by
the
way,
but
you
know
if
you
want
to
use
it
on
page
eight
and
I
think
that
will
match
up
for
you
guys
that
are
looking
at
a
digital
version
on
the
dashboard
of
amendment
coded10024
and
in
that
amendment
it
makes
it
very
clear
that
these
appointments
from
both
the
our
speaker,
the
lieutenant
governor
and
the
governor,
can
come
from
anywhere
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
So
they
absolutely
can
be
local
and
we
had
a
nice
robust
discussion.
C
J
J
B
C
C
It
is
critical
that
we
have
someone
watching
the
store
so
to
speak
when
you're
investing
884
million
of
the
people's
money
and,
quite
frankly
that
doesn't
just
need
to
be
local
folks,
I
mean
it
needs
to
be
a
more
expansive
board
and,
quite
frankly,
it
needs
to
be
to
bor
a
board
that
goes
to
the
sunset
cycle.
Just
like
this
one
will.
It
needs
to
be
a
board
that
has
both
executive
and
legislative
appointments.
C
This
is
a
massive
project
and,
quite
frankly,
it
is
one
that
needs
a
body
that
the
state
has
a
say
in,
because
we
purchased
the
fort
4100
acres
and
again
tennesseans
from
mountain
city
to
memphis
are
investing
their
hard-earned
dollars
in
this
project.
So
we've
got
to
have
some
accountability
there
for
how
that
money
is
being
spent.
Representative
mitchell.
J
J
I
I
would
safe
to
say
you
would
want
some
representation
from
your
community
up
there
overseeing
this,
especially
when
those
people
have
been
doing
it
for
the
past
decade
or
more
they've
been
part
of
this
board.
It's
their
community,
and
you
know
we.
We
all
agree
it's
going
to
drastically
change
this
area.
This
community,
you
know,
we've
seen
what
spring
hill
was
cow
pastures
and
what
spring
hill
is
today
with
gm
moving
in
this
is
quite
a
bit
bigger
than
what
that
that
place.
J
So
we
we
know
what
it's
going
to
do
to
the
area,
so
I
just
wish
we
would
have
some
guarantees
that
it
was
local.
Yes,
it's
all
statewide
money.
Do
I
want
to
sit
here
and
say
you
better?
Have
someone
from
middle
tennessee
or
or
nashville
on
this
board?
No,
I
I
don't
think,
that's
necessary,
but
I
do
think
it's
necessary
that
you
have
someone
from
that
community
that
is
invested
and
knows
the
history
and
knows
the
background
of
the
community.
J
J
C
Lambert,
the
response,
mr
chairman,
and
and
by
the
way
I
know
you
know
senator
county.
Well,
you
mentioned
portland,
you
may
not
know
this,
but
mr
larry
collins
passed
away
and
so
he's
being
buried
this
week
and
those
of
you
that
may
not
know
mr
collins
resident
mitchell,
and
I
knew
him
and
his
family
well
and
he
literally
built
that
industrial
park
that
you
mentioned,
and
it
was
a
truly
private
venture
and
to
ensure
that
it
was
truly
private
input.
C
C
So
I
totally
understand
the
importance
of
having
local
folks
involved
and
please
do
reach
out
to
the
family
and
offer
your
condolences
and-
and
I
was
going
to
save
this
for
the
floor,
but
I
will
say
you
know:
please
have
all
your
prayers
be
with
the
collins
family.
If
you
don't
know
them
and
they
they
were
phenomenal
folks.
C
But
for
this
and
back
on
this
bill,
I
I
trust
our
speaker
and
the
lieutenant
governor
and
the
governor
to
take
all
that
into
account
and
to
appoint
the
best
folks
they
can
possibly
find
either
local
or
not,
but
I
think
you've
you've
made
your
that
point
very
clearly.
I
think
others
have
as
well.
You
know,
I
think
the
speakers
will
listen
to
everyone
and
then
I
trust
them
to
appoint
the
best
folks
available.
So
representative,
reedy.
A
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
leader,
lamberth
good
work
to
you
and
the
gentleman
with
you
on
this
build.
I
appreciate
the
work
question
we
all.
We
all
know
the
importance
of
the
government
operations
committee
here
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
At
what
point
in
this
venture.
Do
we
see-
and
I
know
you
don't
have
a
crystal
ball,
but
at
what
time
would
the
joint
government
operations
be
able
to
have
an
oversight
on
what's
going
on
in
this
mega
site?.
C
C
There
was
some
conversation
I
had
with
the
chairman
of
gov
ops
and,
if
you'll
get
me
between
now
and
the
floor
about,
potentially
it
would
be
one
year
out
instead
of
two
years
out,
but
within
the
next
year
to
two,
this
mega
site
authority
will
be
back
before
gov
ops
and
obviously
could
be
back
sooner
than
that.
If
the
government
operations
committee
chose
to
bring
them
back
in
at
a
more
expedited
hearing
representative
reedy.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
response
and,
of
course
it's
we
a
lot
of
folks,
don't
know
when
the
new
boards
start
up,
there's
a
there's,
a
sunrise
instead
of
a
sunset,
so
the
sunrise
will
give
all
of
those
on
the
government
operations
committee,
both
the
senate,
the
house
that
there
folks
there
will
be
the
oversight
we
will.
We
will
be
watching
what's
going
on
and
there's
members
on
the
government
operations
committee,
I'm
clear
across
the
state,
but
thank
you
leader,
lambert.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Mr
chairman,
