B
Mr
speaker,
good
morning,
members
and
welcome
before
we
go
to
our
father
in
prayer
just
wanted
to
share
just
a
few
words
with
you.
I
want
to
bring
our
attention
back
to
a
part
of
the
scriptures.
That
is
probably
we
hear
more
about
than
anything
else,
and
the
reason
why
is
because
every
time
you
go
to
a
wedding,
you
hear
first
corinthians
13
right,
love
is
kind,
love
is
patient,
and
so
we
hear
that
all
the
time,
and
so
in
the
scriptures
paul
when
he
said
that
guess
what
he
wasn't
performing
the
wedding
ceremony.
B
He
was
talking
about
the
hard
facts
of
everyday
life.
If
we
want
to
be
christ-like,
let
me
just
remind
us.
The
word
says:
love
is
patient
when
I'm
sitting
in
committee,
when
I'm
at
home,
when
I'm
in
any
kind
of
meeting
where
I'm
in
here
paul
says
this
is
not
a
wedding.
I'm
talking
to
you
about
this
is
love
is
patient
and
it's
kind
love
is
not
jealous
or
boastful
or
proud
or
rude.
B
B

A

E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Mr
speaker,
I
rise
today
and
honor
a
lion
of
the
judiciary.
You
have
a
house
joint
resolution
on
our
calendar
number
four
judge.
Barbara
haynes
died
last
week
and
I
want
to
tell
the
members
and
those
that
can
hear
my
voice.
What
this
lady
meant
to
me.
She
was
the
first
woman
elected
county-wide
in
davidson
county.
I
believe
in
1982.
E
She
started
out
as
the
city
judge
in
guiltsville
she
became
a
judge
in
the
general
session
courts
and
then
finally,
she
was
elected
as
circuit
court
judge
on
the
bench
here
in
davidson
county
and
if
you
knew
barbara
haynes,
you
left
there
almost
on
fire.
Just
like
her
red
hair,
you
couldn't
walk
into
her
courtroom
without
being
ready.
She
would
may
I
saw
her.
There
was
one
fella
at
one
point
when
I
was
in
her
courtroom
chewing
gum.
E
She
stopped
the
proceedings
made
that
young
lawyer
spit
his
gum
out
and
said
now.
I
can
hear
you.
You
did
not
walk
into
her
courtroom
without
being
prepared.
Her
knowledge,
her
dedication
to
women's
rights,
her
dedication
to
the
community
is
second
to
none.
I
will
tell
you
a
quick
story,
you
didn't
say
no
to
judge
barbara
haynes.
Mr
speaker,
we
created
leadership
gillettsville
four
five
years
ago
she
was
a
founding
member
of
leadership
gillettsville
and
she
came
to
my
office
and
said
johnny.
E
E
She
told
me
I
was
going
to
be
part
of
leadership
pillsbull
because
she
knew
how
important
communities
are.
So
as
we
rise
today
and
remember
her
and
you
may
know,
mandy,
it's
mandy
young's
mom
senator
joe
haines,
who
served
in
the
senate
across
the
hallway
for
years
and
years
in
district
20
was
her
husband.
E
F
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
of
course,
wandering
the
halls.
Are
our
interns
and
I'm
impressed
with
the
young
people
that
come
to
nashville
to
spend
time
with
us
who
are
going
to
be
maybe
our
country's
next
leaders?
But,
mr
speaker,
I
want
to
introduce
my
intern
rebecca
edwards.
If
you
will
rise
she's
in
the
gallery,

austin
peay,
state
university
and
her

science.
Please

her
welcome.

I

My
daughter

intern

many
years
ago

ut
and
we're

leaders

I'm
proud

young

young
people

for
all
that
you're

J
Thank

mr

mr

I'd
like
to

my
interns.
Wherever

state
university,

studying
political
science

shamar

make

K
Thank

mr

I
rise
today
to
recognize
william
riley.
William,
is
an
intern
and
works
with
both
chairman
zachary
and
myself
and
william
is
a
senior
at
the

4.4.0
gpo
and

six
out
of
six
semesters,
william
riley.
Thank
you
for
being
with
us
members
give
him
a
round
of
applause.
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
I
very
much
appreciated
the
eloquent
words
that
my
fellow
member
from
sumner
county
had
for
judge
barbara
haynes,
who
is
such
a
a
huge
figure
in
our
county's
history.
I
just
had
a
personal
anecdote.
I
wanted
to
share
that
most
of
you,
as
elected
officials,
will
appreciate.
L
L
She
said
I
thought
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do
so.
Needless
to
say,
that's
always
stuck
with
me,
and
I
mention
it
because
one
of
her
legacies
in
this
county
is
that
judge.
Haynes
was
always
involved
in
encouraging
people,
particularly
young
people,
to
get
involved
in
politics,
and
there
are
countless
council,
people,
judges
and
other
important
officials,
not
just
in
nashville
but
throughout
the
state
that
were
encouraged
by
her
very
early
on
sometimes
as
school
children.
So
that's
just
with
all
the
other
things
that
she
did.
M
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
have
with
me
today
two
of
the
finest
women
from
district
77,
and
I
just
happen
to
be
married
to
one
of
them
up
here
to
my
right,
christy
and
then
right
to
her
left
is
joanne
maupin,
and
then
we
have
they're
our
kids
chloe
on
the
right,
jack
c,
camille,
hadley
and
cara.
So
you
all
make
them
feel
welcome.
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
If
you
look
up
in
here
to
the
left
of
the
gallery,
I'd
like
to
introduce
to
you
today,
my
intern
miss
sherry
sampson.
She
is
president
attending
the
tennessee
state
university
and
I'm
so
proud
to
have
her,
and
this
makes
about
her
third
career.
So
everyone
please
give
her
a
round
of
applause.
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I've
got
an
item
on
the
consent
calendar.
It's

recognizes
memorializes,
alice,
chapman

was
the
managing

and
she
passed
away
suddenly
in
no
last
november,

aneurysm

behind
a
husband,

young
children.
N
N
She
sponsored
my
wife's
admittance

the
downtown
rotary,

people

lives
that

touched
in
the
