I
know
that
everyone
has
a
calling
on
their
life
and,
even
though

all
different
types
of
directions,
disciplines,
education-
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for

scripture.
I
I
like
to

always
like
the
book

it
just
seems
like
the
that
book

speaks
to
our
heart

I
He
was
standing
right
up
here,
maybe
two
or
three
years
ago,
and
one
of
us
was
talking
and
just
rambling
on
and
not
saying
anything
of
anything
and
curcio
looked
at
me
said
I'm
talking,
and
I
have
no
idea
what
I'm
saying
and
we
just
had
a
huge
laugh
when
he
did
that
and
then,
since
that
time
there
have
been
times
when
one
of
us
is
talking
and
cursing.
Look
at
me
and
says
I'm
talking
and
I
have
no
idea
what
I'm
saying.
I
I've
always
appreciated
that
little
laugh
that
we
have
with
each
other,
but
I
will
say
this
when
representative
curcio
talks
he's
always
had
good
stuff
to
say
part
of
us
being
in
the
legislature.
There's
a-
and
I
just
told
somebody
outside
part
of
us.
It
includes
us
being
somewhat
of
a
showman
to
to
be
on
the
house
floor
to
be
in
committee
and
to
be
effective.
You
part
of
it.
You've
got
to
be
somewhat
animated.
I
You've
got
to
be
somewhat
of
a
showman,
and
I
remember
watching
when
chairman
curcio
was
made
chairman
of
the
judiciary
committee.
I
thought
wow
we've
got
an
insurance
guy
going
in
to
run
judiciary
committee.
This
is
interesting,
I'm
going
to
enjoy
watching
how
this
happens,
and
this
is
what
and
if
you're
honest
with
yourself.
You
saw
this
too.
There
were
times
when
curcio
was
cheering
there's
times
when
he
spoke
that
you
thought
wait
a
minute.
Is
he
an
attorney?
I
You
see?
Some
of
you
are
shaking
your
head
you're
right
because
he
entered
into
that
role
and
did
such
a
fabulous
job
at
chairing
a
committee
that's
incredibly
complex
and
for
a
for
a
person
who
is
not
an
attorney
to
take
the
gavel
of
judiciary
committee
and
then
do
such
an
incredible
job
that
those
of
us
around
think
wait
a
minute.
Is
he
cell
insurance
or
is
he
an
attorney
guys,
that's
impressive
and
and
that's
what
we
found
in
representative
curcio.
I
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
efforts
that
you
put
in
to
doing
that
and
and
the
studying
and
the
long
hours
and
understanding
the
tca
in
such
a
way
that
when
you
spoke
that
when
you
worked
in
that
committee,
you
impressed
everybody
that
watched
you
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle.
I
saw
democrats
and
republicans
alike,
respect
who
you
were
on
that
and
to
his
three
wonderful
kids.
Thank
you
all
for
sharing
your
daddy
with
us,
your
daddy's,
an
amazing
guy,
he's
done
an
awesome
service
and
your
wonderful
wife.
I
J
I'm
more
excited
than
I
think
he
knows
that
I
don't
have
to
see
michael
curcio
on
this
floor.
Once
again,
let
me
tell
you
why.
Let
me
tell
you
why
when
I
was
a
freshman
I
was
forced.
I
was
appointed
to
be
his
vice
chairman
of
the
judiciary
committee
when
it
was
one
big,
huge
judiciary
committee,
and
it
was
awful.
J
I
do
not
have
to
endure
another
tofu
meal
sitting
on
this
general
assembly
floor,
but
the
truth
is
that
I've
gotten
to
known
michael
I've
gotten
to
know
how
hard
he
works,
and
you
know
when
you're
down
here
when
you
walk
this
funny
thing,
we
call
life.
You
meet
certain
folks
that
affect
you
in
certain
ways
that
become
a
surprise
and
on
a
personal
level,
I've
gotten
to
know
michael
kk,
his
three
kids.
J
I
just
met
his
mother
today
and
I
met
his
father
a
few
months
ago
to
different
event,
and
I
don't
say
this
lightly
or
all
the
time,
but
when
we're
down
here,
we
look
at
folks
that
we
want
to
mimic
that
we
want
to
be
like
that.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
living
up
to
a
certain
standard
and
michael
for
me
you're
one
of
those
guys.
J
You
really
are
you
do
what
you
say.
You
say
what
you
mean
and
you
walk
it.
You
talk
it
and
you
do
it.
You
complete
it.
You
win
it
you're,
challenged
by
it
and
you're
very
good
at
all
walks
of
life
you're
a
very
lucky
man,
that's
difficult
to
do
for
any
man
for
any
woman
down
here.
That's
what
we
strive
for
to
be
a
good
decent
human
to
those
around
us,
because
you
can
lift
those
up
every
day
you
interact
and
michael
you've
got
that
gift
so
mom
and
dad
standing
behind
me.
J
J
Well,
first,
he
certainly
outpicked
his
coverage
and
it
takes
a
certain
person
for
a
partner
to
make
sure
you
can
share
that
person
with
us
for
what
we
go
through
here
to
better
the
lives
of
tennesseans
and
all
those
around
us.
So
we
thank
you
for
your
commitment,
your
dedication
as
a
mom,
you
got
three
great
kiddos
here
that
are
probably
going
what
in
the
world
is
going
on,
but
michael
I'm
going
to
miss
you
congratulations.
I
K
K
We
had
probably
the
shortest
serving
legislator
before
he
left
after
two
weeks,
and
I
was
hoping
michael
will
be
the
longest
serving
one,
but
it
didn't
work
out
and
and
like
our
leader
said
here,
you
know
for
the
first
four
years
I
thought
michael
was
a
lawyer
and
I
really
liked
him
and
then
I
found
out
he
was,
and
I
liked
him
even
more.
You
know,
but
I
got
to
tell
you
a
funny
story,
though,
when
he
was
a
freshman.
K
K
And
so
the
governor
governor
haslam
was
up
speaking
and
it
was
getting
close
to
the
time
and
he
thought
the
governor
is
going
to
wrap
it
up
or
somebody
was
going
to
call
the
question
and
so
michael
every
time
the
governor
would
say
something
like
our
state
is
heading.
The
right
direction.
Michael,
would
stand
up
and
start
clapping.
So
with
everybody
else,
he'd
look
at
his
watch
next
sentence.
The
governor
say
we
are
a
strong
state.
Michael
will
stand
up
and
start
clapping
speech
lasted
a
little
longer
and
the
governor
would
say
another
speak.
K
Do
another
sentence:
michael
will
stand
up
and
start
clapping
michael
won
the
wager
that
day
I
thought
that
was
pretty
smart,
but
mike
again
I
have
enjoyed
serving
with
you
and
I
I
really
appreciate
the
way
with
your
children
and
passing
on
them.
The
importance
of
history,
that's
so
important
to
our
next
generation,
and
it's
just
been
a
pleasure.
Our
friendship-
and
I
know
our
good
friend
is
looking
down
that
we
lost
robert
hicks
and
he's
proud
of
you
too
michael
and
thank
you.
I
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
You
know
it's
interesting.
You
know
the
relationships
that
are
forged
when
we
get
here.
You
know.
Sometimes
they
look
like
the
most
unlikely
relationships,
and
I
remember
when
you
know,
maybe
I
think
this
was
last
year
as
a
matter
of
fact,
when
we
were
on
judiciary
when
I
think
a
lot
of
us
found
out
that
michael
curcio
was
not
an
attorney.
Y'all
noticed
this
recurring
thing
that
keeps
coming
up
and
I
turned
around.
L
I
always
sit
in
front
of
him
in
judiciary
and
I
turned
around
to
him
and
I
said
you're
not
an
attorney.
He
was
like
nah,
but
I
slept
at
a
holiday
inn
last
night
right
because
I
really
did
think
that
you
were
attorney
for
a
long
time
the
whole
time
that
he
was
here.
I
also
want
to
mention
you
know
when
we
founded
the
seersucker
caucus
and
bill
dunn.
I
wore
my
seersucker
that
year
and
bill
dunn
said
I
look
like
the
wendy's
man
y'all.
L
Remember
that,
and
then
michael
curcio
shows
up
with
this
black
seersucker
and
puts
us
all
the
shame-
and
I
remember
I
said:
okay,
okay,
you're
making
you're
making
everybody
step
your
game
up,
but
I
want
to.
I
do
want
to
tell
I
do
want
to
mention
something
that-
and
most
people
in
here
did
not
know.
L
You
know
myself
and
and
chairman
every
year
we
would
sit
down
and
have
dinner
together
every
year
and
and
and
at
those
dinners
we
never
talked
about
politics.
We
talked
about
family,
we
talked
about
y'all.
All
the
time
we
talked
about
growing
talked
about.
You
know
life.
We
talked
about
marines
yeah,
we
talked
about.
You
know,
triumphs
sorrows.
L
I
was
born
in
oakland
california,
and
grew
up
in
los
angeles,
it's
from
with
dixon
county
dixon
county
right.
You
would
think
just
polar
opposites
right
of
experiences,
but
in
those
dinners
there
are
always
commonalities
in
life,
always
each
and
every
single
time.
You
know
we
would
find
things
that
that
we
shared
you
know
in
in
life
experiences.
L
K
L
M
Well,
thank
you
guys,
it's
a
big
day,
speaker
sexton.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
lead
leader
lamberth.
If,
if
I,
if
I
know
anything
about
the
law,
you
taught
me
to
read
it,
and
I
really
appreciate
that.
Thank
you,
chairman
faison,
you
encouraged
me,
you
and
I
ran
in
the
same
race
for
caucus
chair
and
I
think
we
had
more
fun
and
more
good
conversations.
During
that
time
there
was
no
anime.
We
were
just.
We
were
both
just
wanting
to
lead.
So
thank
you
for
your
encouragement.
M
Johnny.
Even
though
you
made
all
those
snide
remarks
about
my
wife's
lunches
that
she
packs
for
me,
it's
quinoa
by
the
way
it's
not
couscous,
but
you
you're
my
ride
or
die
man.
I
appreciate
you,
thank
you
very
much
and
farmer
I'm
for
you
riding
or
walking
buddy.
So,
if
you
need
me,
call
me
okay,
yeah
and
I
can't
I
can't
go
through
the
whole
list.
M
There's
too
many
of
you
all,
but
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
serve
with
each
and
every
one
of
you,
the
friends
that
we
make
down
here.
Sam
told
me
one
time
I
didn't
serve
in
the
military,
but
sam
told
me
one
time
he
said
I
haven't
felt
this
camaraderie
since
I
was
in
the
army
and
I
think
that's
right.
I
trust
your
opinion
on
that,
but
I
feel
the
same
thing.
M
I
want
to
leave
you
with
something.
If
you
don't
mind,
since
you
know
I've
got
this
opportunity,
I
hear
you,
you
hear
the
saying
a
lot
that
people
hate
congress,
but
they
love
their
congressmen
right.
You
feel
that
way.
Sometimes
people
talk
about
the
legislature,
they
talk
about
government
but
they
say,
but
I
don't
mean
you
you're
my
buddy
you're,
my
friend,
I
go
to
church
with
you.
M
Well,
I
would
encourage
you
to
remember
that
you
have
a
platform
with
those
folks,
because
right
now
it
seems
to
be
in
vogue
to
disparage
government
to
disparage
what
we're
doing
here
and
to
talk
about
how
everything
is
doom
and
gloom,
and
it's
not
there's
so
many
great
things
about
our
state.
There's
so
many
great
things
about
our
country,
and
you
have
a
venue
with
folks
when
they
start
to
complain
when
they
start
to
say
something
about
the
swamp.
Tell
them
about
your
legislative
assistant,
who
helped
people
get
unemployment
benefits
during
cobin
19.
M
tell
them
about.
You
know
a
bipartisan
bill
or
a
bipartisan
effort
that
you
carried
or
worked
on,
and
if
you
don't
have
a
story
like
that,
get
one
you
know
next
year
carry
a
bill
with
one
of
your
democratic
colleagues
or
at
least
work
on
a
project
together
whenever
they
tell
you
that
you're
out
of
touch
tell
them
about
the
katie
beckett
waiver.
M
M
M
I've
got
to
thank
heather
asbell,
who
interned
for
leader
lamberth.
I
think
I
stormed
past
her
desk
more
than
once
when
we
were
having
some
discussions
about
an
oral
chemo
bill,
maybe
and
my
parents
who
were
standing
behind
me
joe
and
melissa
curcio,
they're,
pretty
private
people,
so
when
I
told
them
I
wanted
to
run
for
office,
they
looked
at
me
sideways.
Like
are
you
sure
you
want
to
do
that
and
they've
been
very
patient
with
me
throughout
these
past
I
started
actually
campaigning
in
2012.
M
M
They
were
my
constant
advisors,
talked
to
both
of
them
on
a
weekly
and
sometimes
a
daily
basis
about
things
that
were
going
on
in
this
body
and
they
were
such
a
huge
help
and
to
my
three
children,
I'm
so
sorry
that
I
missed
a
lot
of
soccer
games,
but
I'm
going
to
be
at
a
lot
of
them
from
now
on
so
you're
stuck
with
me
one
way
or
the
other
and
the
kk.
Thank
you
for
the
late
nights
and
the
early
mornings.
I'm
sorry.

resolution
1151
by
representative,
jernigan
and
others.
A
resolution
honor
command,
represent
mike
stewart
for
his
service
as
a
member
of
the
house
of
representatives,
whereas
it
is
most
appropriate
that
the
members
of
this
general
assembly
should
honor
those
fellow
legislators
who
have
performed
their
duties
with
most
integrity
and
whose
efforts,
during
their
time
in
office,
have
been
dedicated
to
providing
thoughtful
and
exemplary
service
to
their
districts
and
to
this
great
state.
And
whereas
representative
mike
stewart
of
east
nashville
is
one
such
distinguished
public
servant.
E
E
As
a
platoon
leader
in
operating
surveillance
sites,
monitoring
the
north
korean
army.
He
received
the
eighth

distinguished
leader
award,
and
whereas
upon
leaving
military
service,
he
entered
law
school
at
the
university
of
tennessee
in
the
fall
of
1991
and
joined,
moot
court
and
the
law
review.
And
whereas
many
personal,
professional
accomplishments
aside
mike
stewart
is
most
appreciative
of
the
love
and
companionship.
He
shares
with
his
family

and
his
wife
ruth
who
is
now
associate.
Dean

27
years
and

in
united
methodist

They
have
been
blessed
with
three
children
will
joseph
and
eve,
and
whereas
representative
stewart
is
wholly
committed
to
the
noble
precepts
of
public
service
that
have
earned
tennessee
recognition
as
the
volunteer
state,
and
he
should
be
specially
recognized
upon
his
exemplary
tenure
in
the
general
assembly,
as
he
departs
now
now,
therefore
be
resolved
with
the
house
of
representatives.
E
The
winner
12
general
assembly,
instead
of
tennessee
the
senate,
concurring
that
we
honor
represent
mike
stewart
for
his
mandatory
service
to
tennessee.
As
a
member
of
the
house
of
representatives
commending
him
for
his
countless
contributions
and
many
good
works
in
service
to
the
constituents
of
the
52nd
house
district
and
the
citizens
of
metropolitan
nashville
and
davidson
county
and
extend
to
whom
our
best
wishes
for
much
continuing
success
and
happiness.
N
N
Now
I'll
tell
you
one
thing
that
election
night
with
one
hour
to
go
the
polls
closed
and
mike
stewart
was
still
knocking
on
doors,
trying
to
get
people
out
there
and
I'll.
Never
forget
that.
But
after
campaigning
you
have
to
transition
to
governing,
and
I
for
those
of
you
remember
legislative
plaza,
you
had
suite
mates.
N
N
I
learned
from
mike
that
three
things
you
take
care
of
your
constituents
all
right,
the
customer
service.
You
provide
the
second
thing,
and
this
is
when
we
are
in
the
super
minority
for
the
first
time
and
I've
never
known
anything
since,
but
he
said,
learn
the
rules
and
know
when
to
use
them
because
everybody
has
to
play
by
them.
N
N
N
N
So
I'll
never
forget
you
there's
one
thing
that
I'll
say
mike
is
that
I
never
saw
you
really
much
on
a
daily
basis,
but
I
knew
you
were
in
the
building
and
you're
a
phone
call
away,
and
that
was
a
tremendous
amount
of
comfort
to
me.
I
learned
a
lot
from
you.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
and
I
just
think
you're
you're
a
blessing
to
tennessee
all
right.
F
Losing
my
best
friend
in
this
in
this
body,
you
know
I'm
losing.
You
know
the
good
cop
of
the
good
cop
bad
cop
scenario,
my
tag
team
partner,
but
you
know-
and
I
hope
I
don't
make
anyone
upset
or
angry
about
this,
because
I've
accepted
it
any
room
mike
stewart
walks
into
there's.
No
doubt
in
my
mind,
he's
the
smartest
person
in
that
room
and
and
there's
I've
seen
it
time
and
time
again.
So
many
of
us
serve
in
this
body
and
we're
defined
by
this
position.
F
F
You
know
he
served
his
country,
he
served
his
state
and,
as
you
know,
as
darren
said
when,
when
mike
stewart
raised
his
hand
back
there
and
you're
standing
up
here,
thank
god.
I've
never
been
in
that
position
for
him
to
question
me,
but
I've
seen
it
I've
seen
what
he
does.
I've
seen
him
slide
those
glasses
down
on
the
end
of
his
nose
and
when
he
does
that,
I
I
almost
feel
sorry
for
the
person
he's
questioning,
but
mike
this
body.
F
P
Many
of
you
know
your
first
real
act
is
sometimes
actually
your
most
your
most
difficult
election,
because
now
you
got
a
record
and
people
can
beat
you
up
and
attack
you
and
say
all
kinds
of
things
about
you
and
that
a
very
difficult
reelect
and
my
opponent
had
out
a
ton
of
yard
signs,
and
so
I
was
getting
calls
from
from
people
really
getting
concerned
and
I
kept
telling
mike-
and
he
said,
jason.
You
know
it's
yard
science
like
come
on
laughed
it
off.
Well.
P
Finally,
one
of
his
law
partners
said
man,
there's
a
ton
of
yard
signs
for
powell's
opponent.
In
his
district
and
mike
said,
you
know
jason,
you
know,
what's
what
do
you
think,
and
I
said
well
tell
tell
him
to
give
me
that
500
bucks,
he
promised
me
for
my
contribution,
so
he
he
delivered
that
message.
But
the
irony
is,
you
know
this
last
cycle
mike
had
a
primary
opponent
in
about
every
two
or
three
days.
P
I'd
get
a
call
or
a
text
from
mike
asking
me
if
I
could
find
her
more
sign
locations,
so
I
I
felt
great
joy
and
mike
being
on
the
flip
side
of
that.
But
you
know
the
one
thing
is
everyone's
sorry
about
how
smart
he
is
is
oftentimes
in
my
positions
in
leadership
I
would
come
up
to
mike
and
there
would
be
a
bill
that
one
of
you
maybe
had
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
aisle
that
we
had
a
question
about,
and
I
kind
of
look
at
it
and
and
was
like.
P
You
know
we
are
a
two-party
system
in
this
country
and
it's
important
to
have
a
very
strong
and
vocal
minority
and
mike
did
everything
he
could
in
his
power
to
make
sure
that
we
kept
tennessee
balanced
and
fair.
Because
ultimately,
it's
important.
I
know
every
single
one
of
you
that
was
on
the
opposite
end.
P
It
wasn't
fun,
but
you
knew
that
mike
did
that,
because
he
stayed
he's
a
man
of
principles
and
he
feeds
in
making
sure
that
we
have
a
strong
country
and
we
stay
united,
but
we
always
make
sure
that
we
check
each
other
and
do
things
the
right
way.
So
with
that
I
wanted
to.
If
I
could.
Mr
speaker,
mike
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
serve
with
you
appreciate
your
friendship,
we'll
let
representative
towns
be
recognized
if
we
could
actually
representative
wendell,
okay,
let
them
go
together.
D
Q
L
Also,
I've
learned
that
mike
is
tough
as
nails.
He's
very
tough
as
nils,
and
I
don't
know
whether
that's
military
training
but
his
dad
is
don
form,
but
he
is
very,
very,
very
tough,
there's
some
things.
I
know
that
showed
me
just
how
tough
this
guy
is
mentally
and
physically.
He
has
the
fortitude,
but
also
when
I
think
about
mike,
I
think
about
a
big
old
brain,
but
even
more
so
I
think
about
a
perfectly
big
heart
to
match
that
brain
has
already
been
indicated.
L
Unfortunately,
if
ever
it's
hard
to
duplicate,
so
my
man,
we
indebted
to
you,
the
state
of
tennessee-
is
indebted
to
you.
We
thank
your
family
again
for
allowing
you
to
serve,
but
I
always
say
often
once
a
member
always
remember.
This
is
a
house
that
you
helped
to
build
mike,
so
feel
free
to
come
back
and
tag
us,
and
let
us
know
what
you
need
you
and
your
family.
Thanks
for
your
service,
my
man.
C
C
C
C
C
C
There
is
something
that
this
man
has
done
said
or
invested
in
you,
and
you
did
it
out
of
love,
love
for
your
country,
love
for
this
state
and
love
for
the
things
that
you
truly
believe
in,
and
we
thank
you
for
that.
We'll
take
it
with
us
into
the
future.
We'll
know
you're
always
here
with
us,
but
representative
towns
is
right.
C
We're
losing
part
of
the
institution
today
and
it's
truly
going
to
be
felt
for
a
very
long
time.
I'm
going
to
miss
you
and
I
know
you're
going
to
be
there,
but
we're
going
to
miss
your
presence
here
on
the
floor.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Thank
you
mike.
Thank
you,
family
appreciate
you
all.
We
appreciate
you
all
allowing
him
to
serve
with
us
and
all
the
sacrifices
he
made
with
his
family
to
be
here
to
invest
in
us.
H
H
Easily
the
best
decision
I've
made
in
my
life
and
who
supported
me
since
the
day
we
met
and
and
obviously
has
borne
the
brunt
of
all
the
sacrifice
I'll
have
to
make
to
serve
up
here,
also
my
children,
joseph
and
eve,
and
will,
and
my
daughter-in-law
ally,
thank
all
of
you.
You've
all
supported
me
and
obviously
have
put
up
with
a
lot
as
all
of
our
children
do
because
of
our
service.
I'd
like
to
thank
my
mother
nancy,
my
father
john,
who
just
passed
my
sister
cara.
H
H
H
Most
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
members
that
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
serving
with
thanks
for
all
of
your
words,
I'm
looking
around
I've
got
a
story
to
tell
about
each
and
every
one
of
you.
I've
really
enjoyed
getting
to
know
each
of
you
personally.
I've
enjoyed
traveling
around
your
districts.
H
H
I'd
like
to
especially
thank
my
assistant
d
brandt,
you've
heard
a
couple
times.
It's
not
easy
to
keep
up
with
me
and
she's
really
done.
She's
mastered
the
art
you
know,
dee
has
served.
I
tried
to
drag
her
down
here
for
her
own
resolution,
but
she's
a
humble
person
and
just
flatly
refused,
but
she
deserves
one.
I
mean
she
served
this
state
as
much
as
any
human
being
she's
worked
up
here
for
years
and
has
done
a
wonderful
job
for
me.
She's
done
a
wonderful
job
for
the
state
of
tennessee.
H
To
give
you
a
sense
of
the
innocent
time
that
dee
was
already
involved
in
politics.
There
was
once
a
time
when
she
was
traveling
around
town
on
the
back
of
a
convertible
as
part
of
a
political
event,
and
the
governor
governor
clement
himself
called
her
up
and
told
her.
He
needed
to
never
see
her
again.
That's
an
inappropriate
activity
for
a
nice
young
woman,
so
she's
been
involved.
H
H
H
H
You
know
I've
had
a
thousand
conversations
with
representatives
from
throughout
the
state
of
every
party
and
I'll
tell
you.
It
has
just
reinforced
my
view
that
I
don't
have
all
the
answers.
My
will
should
never
be
imposed
on
the
people
without
their
consent.
The
people
know
what
they're
doing,
and
each
of
you
knows
a
lot
more
about
what
your
people
need
than
I
do,
and
I've
respected
that,
and
I
appreciate
you
sharing
with
me
your
perspectives,
and
I
say
that
with
utmost
seriousness,
tennessee
has
always
punched
above
its
weight.
H
The
other
thing
I
will
say
that
I
take
with
me
from
this
body
as
in
tennessee,
when
we
win
we
win
when
we
lose,
we
lose
we
all,
and
this
is
one
of
our
great
traditions.
We
pledge
our
allegiance
to
our
republic
every
morning
before
we
start
doing
business
and
all
of
us.
From
my
experience,
democrat
and
republican
have
lived
by
that
creed
in
this
state.
H
In
a
republic,
the
first
job
of
any
politician
is
to
lose
gracefully
when
she
or
he
does
not
get
the
votes
and,
as
you
know,
I
participated
in
many
races.
I've
had
the
good
fortune
of
winning
the
few
representative.
Jernigans
may
have
been
my
favorite,
although
representative
mitchell
had
a
few
hot
ones
as
well,
but
you
know
I've
tried
to
beat
a
few
of
you
in
this
chamber.
I
even
tried
to
beat
chairman
fazen,
but
with
that
beautiful
family
of
his,
he
was
too
stout
and
rolled
right
over
us.
R
H
H
H
E
And
whereas
representative
jason
potts
of
nashville
is
one
such
distinguished
public
servant,
who
has
served
both
his
constituency
and
this
legislative
body
with
honor
and
ability
and
west
first
selected
to
the
general
assembly
in
2018.
Representative
potts,
is
an
influential
figure
in
the
political,
social
and
civic
life
of
nashville.
E
And
he
has
served
his
constituents
in
numerous
capacities
during
his
four-year
tenure
at
capitol
hill
and
whereas
he
has
distinguished
himself
as
a
public
spirited
citizen
and
an
exceptional
asset
to
the
good
people
of
the
59th
house
district,
whom
he
has
served
as
a
member
of
the
111th
and
112th
general
assemblies.
Whereas
jason
potts
represented
the
southeast
nashville
community.
E
As
a
member
of
the
metropolitan
council
of
nashville
and
davidson
county
from
2011
to
2018
and
wears
many
professional
and
personal
and
professional
accomplishments,
aside,
jason
potts
is
most
appreciative
of
the
love
and
companionship
he
shares
with
his
wife,
amanda
and
their
children,
emily
and
easton,
and
whereas
representative
potts
is
committed
to
the
noble
precepts.
Public
service
set
up,
earned
tennessee
recognition
as
the
volunteer
state,
and
he
should
be
recognized
upon
his
upon.
His
tenure
in
the
general
assembly.
Now,
therefore
be
resolved
with
the
house
of
representatives
of
112
general
similar
state
of
tennessee.
E
The
senate,
concurring
that
we
honor
representative
jason
potts
for
his
meritorious
service
to
tennessee,
as
a
member
of
the
house
of
representatives,
commend
him
for
his
countless
contributions
and
many
good
works
in
the
service
of
the
constituents
of
the
59th

and
the
citizens
of

and
extend

him.
Our
best

for

continuing

C
C
F
Hey,
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Well,
I've
had
the
honor
of
serving
both
in
the
metro
council
and
the
general
assembly
with
representative,
potts
and
bottom
line
of
it.
I've
never
seen
anyone
he's
just
a
hard
worker
you're
not
going
to
outwork
him
and
that's
how
he
got
here.
You
know
he
just
took
off
knocking
on
doors
thousands
of
doors.
F
You
know
and,
as
you
know,
darren
kidded
about
earlier
about
the
signs,
jason
potts
is
going
to
knock
on
your
door
and
he's
going
to
convince
you
that
you're
for
him
and
you're
going
to
have
a
sign
in
your
yard
before
he
before.
He
goes
to
the
next
door,
and
I
mean
he
does
the
same
thing
in
his
business.
You
know
he
works
hard
for
a
living.
You
know
he
does
construction
work
and
he's
done
that
and
it's
hard
to
maintain
that
type
of
business
and
be
down
here.
F
F
You
know
you
have
to
do
what
you
have
to
do
to
make
a
living.
This
is
supposed
to
be
a
part-time
job,
but
we
all
know
it's
a
full-time
job
and
we're
lucky
to
have
people
like
jason
potts.
I
learned
in
the
council
early
on.
If
he
tells
you
he's
with
you,
you
don't
have
to
go
back
and
check.
You
know
he's
going
to
be
there
with
you
and
I
could
count
that
vote
and
move
on
so
jason.

G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Well
mark
I'll,
tell
you
what
man
it
feels
like
you
just
got
here
yesterday,
I'm
dead
serious,
I
mean
you
know:
we've
had
members
in
the
past
that
think
success
is
how
many
likes
you
get
on.
Facebook.
We've
had
folks
that
the
most
dangerous
what
place
between
in
the
world
would
be
between
them
and
a
camera.
G
It
is
impressive
to
us
all
so
mark
I
told
you
come
up
here
and
stand
next
to
me
now
I
don't
have
to
turn
around
talk
just
right
here.
Next
to
me.
I
want
to
say
this:
are
you
absolutely
certain?
You
won't
leave
us
all
right.
Man,
look,
there's
objection,
so
y'all
all
know
that
he
he
has
a
race
that
he's
in
right
now,
so
he
has,
I
won't
say
higher
expectation
but
lower
expectations
and
and
other
aspirations
to
go
to
another
chamber,
that's
nearby,
but
mark.
G
We
are
desperately
going
to
going
to
miss
you
here.
We
wish
you
the
absolute
best
in
those
endeavors
but
man,
the
stuff
you
fight
for
is
the
stuff
that
matters
and
every
single
day
you've
been
here.
You've
done
that,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
want
to
shake
your
hand
and
say
I
appreciate
your
friendship.
I
I
I
I'm
I'm
so
impressed
and
we
honor
you
for
that
service
and
for
this
service.
I'll
tell
you
a
quick
story
when
you're
in
when
you're
doing
your
best
to
get
into
leadership,
you
end
up
traveling
the
state
and
then
my
time
I've
been
able
to
travel
all
95
counties
in
the
state
of
tennessee
and
one
time
when
I
first
was
running,
I
stopped
in
his
county
and
I
let
my
hair
grow
out
just
so
I
could
get
a
haircut
from
the
ball-headed
barber.
I
just
thought
that'd
be
the
coolest
thing.
I
So
if
you've
never
been
there,
you
need
to
go
and
sit
in
his
chair.
It's
it's.
He
built
this
beautiful
building.
That's
really
cool
great
atmosphere.
He's
got
this
whole
vacuum
cleaner
thing
that
the
hair
never
hits
the
floor.
It's
it's
really
impressive.
You
need
to
see
it
well.
I
thought
it
would
be
funny
to
take
a
selfie
with
him
and
say
that
this
barber
is
going
to
cut
my
hair
the
same
way
he
cuts
his
hair
just
being
funny
that
was
over
three
years
ago.
I
Still
to
this
day,
people
will
find
that
picture
and
make
comments
about
us
and
still
like
it
is
what
I've
never
had
a
picture
that
gets
likes
for
three
years
and
comments
for
three
years,
so
that
that's
amazing,
on
kind
of
what
leader
lambert
said,
I
I
don't
understand
a
person
that
would
want
to
leave
this
chamber
and
go
to
a
chamber,
that's
full
of
aids.
I
mean
they
have
band-aids
and
roll
aids
and
all
type
of
health
days
and
you're
and
you're
leaving
us
and
going
to
this
inferior
chamber.
I
E
D
E
D
D
We
share
the
same
county
and
there
are
issues
that
arise
sometime,
that
one
of
us
may
take
a
little
heat,
but
he's
got
your
back
and
I
appreciate
that
about
him.
It's
interesting,
the
speaker
was
in
our
county
recently
for
the
lincoln
day
dinner
and
the
speaker
mentioned.
He
never
understood
why
anybody
would
want
to
leave
the
house
of
representatives
and
go
to
the
senate
to
that
geriatric
wing
of
the
legislature,
but
that's
his
choice,
I'm
sorry
to
see
him
go.
D
D
D
D
I
love
this
place
because
we're
a
melting
pot
of
people
from
all
over
people,
from
all
walks
of
life,
all
different
backgrounds
and
after
meeting
you
and
building
working
relationships
with
you,
I
can
see
why
your
constituents
love
you
a
reporter
called
yesterday
and
asked
me.
Why
was
I
leaving
the
house
of
representatives
and
wanting
to
move
to
the
senate?
D
The
only
promise
I've
ever
made
politically
was
they
wasn't
going
to
outwork
us,
and
I
don't
know
if
you've
ever
worked
overtime
in
undertone.
If
you've
come
early
and
you've
stayed
late,
you
bait,
coach,
suppers
and
miss
t-ball
games
and
being
at
home
on
christmas.
Eve
was
just
considered
a
blessing
if
you,
if
you
can
relate
to
that,
I
can
relate
to
you
and
I
want
to
thank
them.
D
I
C
L
D
I
D
The
hoods
have
been
in
my
with
me
step
by
step
through
this
process
for
the
last
two
years,
and
so
I
know
that
they
are
extremely
grateful.
There
are
many
many
others
across
this
state
are
extremely
grateful
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
helping
me
throughout
this
process.
So
thank
you
all.
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
and
members
as
speaker
pro
tem.
I
had
the
honor
of
going
up
on
the
stage
several
times
and
I
just
want
us
all
to
thank
tammy
and
daniel
and
kim
and
jake
and
the
whole
team
up
there.
I
didn't
realize
how
much
they
did
to
keep
us
all
straight.
Everything
up
there
is
in
a
script.
It's
perfect!
Thank
you
all
for
doing
such
a
great
job
for
all
of
us.
D
D
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
had
intended
to
recognize
my
lovely
wife,
marilyn
aka,
the
silver
fox
and
sawyer,
but
he
got
restless
and
they
had
to
go.
He's
got
a
couple
of
nicknames,
tiny
tea,
tiny
tornado
and
otherwise
buzz
saw
which
fit
him
fine,
and
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
serve
here
and
thanks
for
everybody,
that's
helped
me
along
the
way.
Thank
you.
K
D
D
D
Let
them
know
that
our
thoughts
and
our
prayers
here
at
the
state
house
is
with
them,
and
every
one
of
our
hearts
goes
out
to
them
in
their
need
comfort
them
through
your
holy
spirit,
as
you
would
send
that
precious
spirit
to
comfort
them
and
give
them
peace
in
this
time
of
loss
and
the
days
that
are
ahead,
forgive
us
of
our
sins
for
their
many,
but
help
us
to
walk
in
a
way
that
be
pleasing.
Unto
you
preach
in
jesus
name,
we
pray
and
amen.

Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
After
consultation
with
the
conference
committee,
we
have
accepted
an
amendment
that
makes
the
bill
retroactive
for
the
offender
whose
victims
was
a
minor.
With
that,
mr
speaker,
I
moved
to
adopt
the
conference
committee
report
and
make
it
the
action
of
the
house
representative.
J
D
J
G
Thank
you
for
speaking
to
the
sponsor
for
those
of
us
that
I
think,
as
an
attorney.
I
think
the
question
may
be
asked
more
from
a
legal
standpoint.
The
activity
is
not
retroactive.
The
criminal
conduct
is
not
retroactive.
What
it
is
is
if
somebody
is
currently
on
the
sex
offender
registry
and
their
victim
was
a
minor
then
from
here
forward.
They
would
no
longer
be
able
to
conduct
the
activities
that
are
in
this
bill,
or
it
would
be
a
crime.
G
So
previous
action,
we
are
not
going
back
retroactively
and
criminalizing
something
someone
has
done
prior
to
this
bill.
That
obviously,
would
be
exposed
facto
and
not
allowed
it's
just
saying.
If
you're
currently
on
the
sex
offender
registry
and
your
victim
was
a
minor
then
from
here
forward,
there
are
acts
that
are
prohibited.

Mr
speaker,
we
have
a
couple
of
messages
on
the
desk
from
the
senate,
things
that
need
to
be
sent
back
first,
one
of
those
is
senate
bill
2774
by
chairman
todd.
The
message
reads,
mr
burger:
I'm
directed
to
transmit
to
the
house
senate
bill
2774
the
senate
refused
to
receive
it
and
it's
accident.
Non-Concurring
in-house
amendment
number
one.
The
speaker
appointed
a
conference
committee
composed
of
senators
bill
kyle
and
steven
stick
fair
with
the
light
committee
from
the
house
and
open
conference
to
resolve
the
differences
between
the
bodies
on
senate
bill
27-74.
B
Chairman
todd
moves
to
the
seat
to
the
request.
The
senate
asset
conference
committee
be
appointed
to
confer
with
the
light
committee
from
sen
to
resolve
the
differences
between
two
bodies,
probably
seconded
any
discussion
without
objection.
Motion
carries
I
appoint
following
members
representative,
todd
representative
boyd,
representative
hall
and
representative
harris.
M
E
I
D
B
B
B
E
K
You,
mr
speaker,
this
has
to
deal
with
our
campaign
finance
and
ethics
reform
act.
First,
I'd
like
to
thank
chairmans
williams,
zachary,
crawford
and
jernigan
for
their
help
in
the
conference
committee,
members,
god
with
the
senate,
and
so
this
just
want
to
highlight
a
couple
of
the
changes
that
that
we
worked
out.
First
of
all
sections
one
through
six
about
the
registry
there
and
the
bureau
on
their
meetings
and
their
reports
stays
the
same
section.
Seven
through
eight.
K
Section
nine
requires
an
audit
if
a
candidate
files,
a
contribution
statement
with
more
than
30
percent
of
the
candidates,
contributions
are
reported
as
un-itemized
section
10
requires
immediate
reporting
of
expenditures
within
a
10-day
period
of
an
election
if
the
expenditure
is
over
1
000
for
a
house
candidate-
and
this
applies
to
pacs,
also
3
thousand
for
senate
candidates
and
five
thousand
for
statewide
candidates
section
eleven.
This
deals
with
the
re
civil
penalty
level
against
a
candidate
controlled
pac.
K
We
kept
the
language
for
the
most
part,
but
we
also
broke
it
down
for
class
one
violations
of
the
of
the
reporting.
Those
are
basically
failure
to
report
your
turn
in
your
report
on
time.
So
we
limit
that
to
750
dollars
that
can
be
paid
out
of
the
pack,
but
also
if
it's
a
class
2
violation
that
basically
includes
fraud
or
failure
to
re,
provide
a
report
within
35
days
that
can
be
assessed
the
penalty
by
the
registry
and
that
has
to
be
paid
by
the
individual
responsible.
K
Section
11
has
to
deal
with
501,
c4s,
fives
and
six
pretty
much.
What
we
had
said
before,
but
also
we're
allowed
the
language
to
include
communications,
does
not
include
communications
but
between
an
organization
by
membership
organization
solely
to
its
members
employees
or
to
any
person
who
especially
consented
to
receiving
communication
from
that
organization
section
14
we
had
recommended
for
the
to
fill
an
appointment
to
the
registry
of
the
caucuses.
We
had
said
30
days,
the
senate
said
120.
K
We
compromised
and
came
up
with
60
days
on
that,
and
we
did
not.
We
agreed
not
to
add
two
additional
members
to
the
registry
and
we
also
agreed
to
limit.
We
removed
the
requirement
that
we
had
recommended
to
limit
registry
members
to
one
full
term,
so
they
they
concern
multiple
terms
of
their.
They
meet
the
standards
and
also.
K
We
also
added
the
senate
recommendation
requirement
for
general
assembly
members
and
staff
to
report
income
from
campaign
services,
and
this
applies
for
those
those
who
hire
members
staff
or
campaign
or
can't
excuse
me
are
members.
They
must
report
and
also
members
and
staff
must
also
report
if
they
conduct
campaign
services,
as
defined
in
our
legislation,
and
we
also
added
trial.
Judges
must
file
an
annual
conflict
of
interest
report
and
also
governors.
K
Members
of
the
governor's
cabinet
cannot
receive
compensation
for
consulting
services
that
we
had
overlooked
that
for
years
in
the
tca
and
also
candidates
and
pacs
are
prohibited
from
using
pre-marked
boxes
for
authorizing
recurring
contributions
to
a
campaign
and
also
requiring
that
a
photo
id
be
provided
to
the
registry
of
election
finance
for
each
officer
treasurer
or
the
committee
of
at
least
one
person
who
directly
controls
expenditures
of
a
pac.
And
with
that,
mr
speaker,
our
move,
we
adopt
the
conference
committee
report
and
make
it
the
action
of
the
house
representative.

Work
done
under
over
a
hundred
thousand
is
reported
back
to
the
speakers
and
to
the
building
commission
and
also,
while
we
said
labor
contracts,
the
senate
wanted
actually
in
the
words
union
or
labor
association
outside
of
that
other
than
slight
rewarding.
It's
it's
pretty
much
the
same.
This
does
not
again.
This
does
not
in
any
way
give
anyone
the
power
to
cancel
contracts
or
to
cancel
agreements.
It
only
gives
reporting
to
the
speakers
and
the
building
commission
of
activity
at
the
site.

Rudd

all

Learn
that
that
is
my
reading
of
it
there's
a
cross
reference
to
a
statute
that
may
leave
some
wiggle
room
for
those
beyond
that,
but
the
intent
was
for
it
to
be
those
within
50
miles.
I
go
home
every
night,
and
so
this
bill
is
never
going
to
affect
me,
but
for
those
members
that
may
stretch
the
boundaries
of
that
50
miles
and
be
just
in
it.
G
Some
of
them
do
wind
up
staying
in
nashville
overnight,
but
they
as
you
and
I
know
our
first
year
down
here,
we
trim
the
per
diem
back
to
take
out
a
hundred
dollars
a
day
for
the
per
diem.
Because
again
we
go
to
our
homes
every
night
for
those
that
are
beyond
50
50
miles,
they
receive
an
additional
per
diem
of
a
hundred
dollars,
and
so
this
allows
in
that
rare
circumstance
for
someone
within
that
50
miles
could
defray
the
cost
of
having
to
stay
in
nashville.
If
it
was
needed
with
campaign
expenses.
G
P
And
thank
you.
I
have
no
problem
with
the
bill
and
I
agree
with
your
assessment.
I
just
personally
will
be
voting,
no
because
I've
got
to
conf.
You
know
just
personally
feel
like
this
is
something
that
people
shouldn't
be
using
their
campaign
funds
to
stay
here
if
they
need
to,
if
they're
not
actually
going
to
be
campaigning,
but
you
know
I
appreciate
your
attention
on
the
bill.
I
just
will
be
voting.
No,
so
thank
you
for
the
explanation
leader.
I
appreciate
that.
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
speaker
leader.
Will
this
only
allow
for
people
to
use
their
campaign
funds
for
say,
rent
or
or
for
the
cost
of
a
hotel?
They
won't
be
able
to
use
their
campaign
monies.
Let's
say
they
invested
in
a
property
that
they're
living
in
it
won't
allow
them
to
pay
for
the
mortgage
on
that
property.
Will
it.
G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
The
bill
is
very
short,
I'm
literally
just
going
to
read
from
the
bill.
I
think
that's
probably
the
most
helpful
thing
is-
and
this
is
after
the
first
section
that
puts
it
under
the
code
section
of
code,
section,
210,
114
pay
for
lodging
expenses
or
pay
for
a
portion
of
lodging
expenses.
On
the
same
day,
the
member
earns
mileage
reimbursement
or
per
diem
pursuant
to
3-1-106.
G
If
the
lodging
is
necessitated
by
the
normal
course
of
the
members
duties
and
the
member
is
not
otherwise
eligible
for
reimbursement
for
such
lodging
or
the
member's
reimbursement
does
not
cover
the
total
amount
of
the
lodging
and
reimburse
the
member
for
mileage
above
the
mileage
for
the
members
reimbursed
by
this
state
for
travel
at
the
nashville.
If
the
additional
miles
travel
are
necessitated
by
the
normal
course
of
the
members
duties
so
in
the
situation
you've
given.
G
I
absolutely
do
not
think
that
this
language
would
provide
for
that,
because
it
is
supposed
to
be
on
a
on
a
specific
day
where
it
was
needed
that
that
person
is
here
and
it
goes
well
beyond
what
their
normal
reimbursement
would
be.
So
it's
if
someone
was
using
in
that
matter,
it
would
be
my
intent
as
a
sponsor
of
the
bill
that
that
would
fall
well
outside
this
bill.

C
E
B
All
right
members:
this
is
the
tisa
message,
so
let's
refrain
if
we
can
from
calling
a
previous
question
too
soon,
let
those
who
are
a
support
and
oppose
who
would
like
to
speak
on
this
this
afternoon.
Please
allow
them
some
time
to
voice
their
preference
and
with
that
chairman
white,
you
are
recognized.
B
Q
Q
There
was
an
amendment
that
came
back
was
stripped
off
in
the
senate
and
the
reason
why
it
was
stripped
off
is
this
is
a
a
funding
bill
and
not
a
spending
bill.
We've
been
told
that
numerous
times,
but
on
education
committee
members
file
bills
every
year,
reducing
the
number
that
triggers
nurses,
guidance,
counselors,
rti
interventions
to
help
our
children
and
those
those
bills
get
filed
every
year,
year
after
year.
Q
And
if
you
know
what
rti
is
that's
how
we
help
kids
with
with
reading
disabilities
to
get
more
help,
we
were
dropping
that
number
from
one
down
to
one
to
every
500
students
which
would
get
them
more
help.
So
I'm
sure
your
lease,
when
this
comes
out
is
going
to
be
asking
what
those
numbers
are,
because
they
want
to
know
in
the
teacher
funding
bill
what
is
precisely
being
funded
to
help
these
children,
and
so
all
we
were
doing
was
urging
them
to
do
this.
Q
But
the
department
and
the
senate
and
their
wisdom
decided
to
take
that
out,
and
that's
that's
okay.
As
long
as
we
make
sure
everybody
knows
that
the
other
thing
that
was
disheartening
is
we've
had
numerous
conversations
here
on
the
house
floor
about
how
nobody
can
explain
the
bep
there's
a
a
lady
here
named
marianne
dursky.
Q
As
long
as
we
have
the
bep,
she
cannot
retire
because
she's,
probably
the
only
one
that
really
knows
how
to
explain
it
to
us
in
depth.
If
we
have
a
question
on
the
bep,
we
call
one
person
and
she
gets
you
the
answer
in
the
bill.
We
had
a
a
professional
development
course
that
was
put
on
an
amendment
like
in
the
first
or
second
rewrite
of
this
bill
to
require
those
that
are
going
to
be
in
direct
application
of
the
tisa
bill
to
take
a
professional
development
course.
Q
So
that's
that's
something
else.
That's
probably
something
we're
going
to
have
to
come
back
next
year
in
the
education
committee
and
probably
fix
to
put
back
in
there
to
make
sure
that
people
are
going
to
be
implementing
tisa
are
the
ones
that
are
going
to
understand
it
the
best
and
be
able
to
to
talk
about
it.
There
was
another
oversight,
and
it's
it
could
be.
Q
They
inadvertently
left
that
out,
so
we'll
probably
fix
that
next
year.
To
put
that
back
in,
because
remember
in
the
house,
we
have
two
education
committees,
one
on
one
on
instruction
and
one
on
admin,
and
you
may
be
asking
yourself
well.
Why
is
it
important
that
the
instruction
chairman
get
a
report
on
on
tisa
every
year?
Well,
because
commissioner
schwinn
in
committee,
when
asked
asked,
if
funding
directly
affects
instruction-
and
she
said
yes,
that's
something
we
probably
got
to
fix
next
year.
Q
But
you
know
I
just
want
to
rise.
There's
been
a
lot
of
debate
on
this.
There's
been
a
lot
of
people
that
have
come
out
in
support
of
this
it's.
It
is
cautious
that
the
four
main
educational
groups
in
the
state
of
tennessee,
mainly
the
superintendents,
the
school
board
association,
the
tea
and
the
professional
educators
of
tennessee,
the
teachers,
the
school
boards
and
the
superintendents
as
a
whole,
have
not
come
out
and
supported
this
bill.
Q
As
we
grow,
our
fiscal
capacity
will
climb
to
tremendous
amounts
of
levels
where
the
state
is
going
to
cut
our
funding
and
my
constituents
in
my
district.
My
school
board
my
county
commission,
because
of
that
reason
do
not
want
me
voting
for
this
bill
right
now.
Do
I
think
we
can
get
to
a
place
that
it
fix
it,
fixes
those
issues
and
addresses
some
of
your
concerns
that
are
going
to
pop
up.
Q
Education
is
about
making
sure
everybody
can
read,
write
and
do
math.
It
doesn't
matter
where
you
come
from,
or
what
educational
background
you
have
it's
about.
Moving
all
our
kids
across
the
finish
line,
so
that
when
we
have
graduates
in
the
state
of
tennessee,
the
opportunities
that
are
available
to
them
that
this
that
this
country
provides
of
educational
opportunities
are
available
to
everybody.
Q
S
S
We
have
worked
on
this
bill
intensely
since
we
got
here
in
january
four
four
four
months,
and
what
I
wanted
to
engage
in
is
is
that
we
went
through
seven
weeks
in
committee
through
five
different
committees
and
we
hashed
these
things
out
in
the
committee,
and
let
me
just
address
the
one
about
the
ratios
that
chairman
simpi
just
brought
up,
and
I
want
to
say
this.
As
I
begin.
S
If
you
remember,
when
you
go
back
to
february
1st
of
february,
where
this
concept
was
being
started,
presented,
most
of
the
members
didn't
know
anything
about
it
and-
and
we
said
you
know-
is
it:
is
it
too
soon
and
all
those
kind
of
things
we
have
come
so
far
that
we
have
a
plan?
Let
me
just
address
the
part
he
brought
up
first
about
the
ratios,
the
reason
that
it
was
left
out
and
I
do
agree
with
the
senate.
S
So
what
this
does
through
this
base
and
its
weights
and
its
direct
funding,
it
is
sending
enough
money
to
the
local
communities
and
districts.
Well,
then,
they
can
hire
the
appropriate
numbers,
not
every
in
some
districts
and
everybody
needs
a
nurse.
We
want
a
nurse
in
every
school,
but
that
may
not
be
true
for
every
district
that
they
want,
that
they
have
the
funding
to
do
that
and
by
the
way
in
the
base
this
year-
and
I
want
to
congratulate
my
my
good
friend,
I'm
looking
at
right
here
from
up
upper
east
tennessee.
S
He's
he's
carried
this
every
year
and
we
wanted
to
pass
it.
The
funding
formula
under
the
ratio
is
one
nurse
for
every
three
thousand
students
every
year.
We
try
to
get
that
down
to
one
in
750,
but
it
it
has
a
fiscal
note
of
40
million
dollars.
So
therefore
it
doesn't
get
passed
because
we're
trying
to
ratios
in
the
base
this
year,
that's
6,
860,
that's
in
the
base
per
student,
everybody
gets
when
they
calculated
this
brought
this.
S
We
have
brought
that
down
to
one
one
nurse
for
every
750
students,
so
the
money
is
going
to
the
school
and
also
on
the
counselors.
So
to
get
away
from
funding
ratios
is
the
reason
that
we
took
that
part
out
so
that
the
districts
get
the
money,
but
every
district
is
is
different.
One
size
never
fits
all.
We
know
that,
and
so
this
gives
freedom
to
to
the
districts.
S
As
far
as
the
professional
development
part,
we
did
in
the
house
side
put
in
there
that
you
have
to
go
through
training
and
you
would
have
to
take
a
test
and
you'd
have
to
pass
it
well.
The
senate
said
you
know
we're
going
to
leave
it
optional
districts.
You
know
you're,
smart
enough.
If
you
know
you
you're
going
to
figure
this
out
and
we'll
help
you,
but
we're
not
going
to
make
you
go
through
a
test
and
so
that
that
part
was
taken
out.
S
But
that's
the
reasoning
behind
this
is
a
totally
the
biggest
problem
I
had
to
try
to
get
my
head
around
this
beginning.
I
kept
trying
to
fix,
put
tissa
in
the
bep.
It's
like
putting
a
square
peg
in
a
round
hole.
You
can't
do
that.
It's
a
totally
different
funding
formula
and-
and
mr
speaker
would
I'll,
let
chairman
hassan
say
a
few
words.
D
Representative
hasten
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
I
just
wanted
to
to
echo
a
point
on
the
ratio
portion.
Jefferson,
pinky
didn't
make
a
fair
point
about.
You
know
it's
an
urging
that
was
in
there
originally
and
the
point
that
he
makes
about
it
was
an
urging
and
it
doesn't.
It
doesn't
really
do
anything.
So
it's
okay
to
stay
in.
It's
actually
an
argument
you
can
use
on
the
other
side.
Equally,
it's
an
urging
it
doesn't
do
anything.
D
D
F
S
Thank
you
well,
the
part
we
didn't
get
into
yesterday.
I
briefly
did
in
the
introduction
the
way
this
formula
tesla
formula,
tennessee
investment
student
achievement
is
calculated.
There
is
the
base
first
now
in
the
base.
If
you
were
going
to
start
a
school
system,
it's
basically
what
you
would
need
to
put
put
together,
and
I
can
read
that
to
you.
S
It
covers
everything
from
salaries,
classroom
teachers,
principals
assistant,
principals,
p
e
teachers,
college
and
career
counselors,
nurses,
school
secretaries,
getting
the
materials,
textbooks
operations,
maintenance
and
operations
systems
for
it,
and
so
they
they
work
on
a
funding
form
of
those
people
who
crunch
numbers.
It
comes
up
with
6
860
and
from
there
you
go
into
the
weights
depending
on
the
student
and
what
that
student
needs
it
is,
and
that
is
a
percentage
of
the
faith
like
economically
disadvantaged
is
25
of
that
660
for
that
child,
and
so
it's
very
what's
good
about
this.
F
S
F
S
F
Represent
mitchell,
no!
No!
That
was
not
the
question.
You
know,
you're
talking
yearly,
I'm
talking
about
percentage,
70,
30,
60,
40,
how
many
districts
are
going
to
be
paying
a
higher
percentage
in
this
bill
than
they?
Currently
you
know
there
there
was
a
tennessean
article.
I
don't
know
if
you
had
a
chance
to
read
it,
but
if
you
didn't
I'll
just
answer
for
you,
it's
two-thirds
of
school
districts
are
going
to
be
paying
a
greater
percentage.
F
So
that
goes
back
to
what
the
leader
was
saying
yesterday,
as
he
was
tabling
amendments
left
and
right,
he
says
he
wants
it
to
go
back
to
locals.
Well,
he's
not
talking
about
the
local
school
board.
Folks
he's
talking
about
the
local
county
commission,
because
those
folks
are
going
to
be
making
some
tough
decisions
to
raise
revenues
to
pay
that
higher
percentage.
F
He
is
dealing
upon
you.
So
let's
get
back
to
what
he
said
a
few
moments
ago
about
everything
you
need
to
start
a
school
well
I'll,
just
name
a
few
communities
that
better
get
ready
because
they're
going
to
start
a
school
there.
It's
called
murfreesboro
clinton,
city
schools,
oak
ridge,
city
schools,
franklin,
special
school
district,
manchester,
mackenzie,
huntington,
humboldt
lexington,
lenoir
city
union
city,
maryville,
germantown,
collierville,
bartlett,
arlington
and
millington
get
ready,
they've
got
a
charter
school.
Just
for
you
believe
me,
you
know.
F
In
the
past
charter
schools
have
been
aimed
and
geared
toward
inner
city
school
inner
city,
kids,
we're
going
to
save
the
poor
kids
that
are
being
neglected.
I
hear
that
all
the
time
you
just
don't
care
about
those
kids
that
are
not
getting
their
fair
share.
Well,
the
latest
charter
scheme
has
been
hildale
college
and,
if
you
think
that's
gone
away,
you've
got
another
thing
coming.
Do
you
think
this
governor
has
promised
him
50
charters
and
not
going
to
come
through?
Those
charters
are
going
in
these
towns.
F
You
didn't
hear
that
those
charter
schools
from
hilldale
being
aimed
at
inner
city
children.
They
were
aimed
at
you
know.
We
heard
all
this
patriotism
wrapped
in
the
flag.
You
know
everything
about
being
a
good
american
and
civ
it.
It
was
rule
aimed.
It
was
aimed
at
the
the
hinderlands
of
this
state,
it's
not
aimed
at
memphis
or
nashville.
F
F
F
F
You
know:
we've
done
all
this
stuff
and
everyone's
set
back
in
their
seats,
because
oh
we're
only
doing
this
to
nashville
and
memphis
well,
folks,
if
you
think
this
is
only
nashville
and
memphis,
now,
you've
got
another
thing
coming
this
and
and
and
I'm
tired
of
always
arguing,
everyone
wants
to
say
it's
a
partisan
issue.
This
is
not
blue
or
red
folks.
This
is
green.
F
S
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
remembers
bottom
line.
Is
every
district
is
getting
more
money
under
this
formula
we'll
get
into
all
the
other
things?
The
percentages?
You
know
there
are
certain
districts
that
are
more
blessed
than
others.
I
was
walking
through
broadway
in
downtown
nashville
today
and
you
couldn't
stir
the
people.
Stick.
S
O
O
A
lot
of
you
don't
know
this,
but
the
state
only
pays
45
on
the
health
premiums
for
teachers,
whereas
they
pay
80,
80
percent
for
all
of
their
employees.
State
employees
and
I
found
out
this
week
that
they
also
pay
80
percent
for
all
the
teachers
and
faculty
for
tcats
and
for
community
colleges,
that's
40
of
them
27,
tcats
and
13
community
colleges.
O
You
know
for
someone
on
state
plan,
you
know
they're
playing
paying
around
250
to
300
a
month,
teachers
from
wayne
county,
really
good
teachers.
We
lost
probably
one
of
the
best
high
school
teachers
that
we
had.
They
crossed
county
line
and
went
to
hardin
county,
where
hardin
county
paid
100
percent
of
their
teachers
insurance.
O
O
So
I
hope
that
next
year,
year
after
next
that
you
will
look
at
this
and
because
it
would
be
like
the
senate
if
the
state
paid
the
senate
80
percent,
but
they
paid
us
45
of
our
health
insurance.
Just
think.
How
would
that
make
you
feel
so
so
I
hope
in
the
upcoming
sessions.
You
will
look
at
this
and
see
if
you
can
help
teachers
on
their
health
insurance.
Thank
you.
S
I
D
I
I
I
What
this
bill
does-
and
this
will
be
a
question
you
will
be
asked
about
at
your
your
local
school
boards.
What
this
bill
does
is
require
those
school
districts
or
fact,
schools
they're,
not
hitting
that
goal
to
put
in
place
plans
to
achieve
it
and
requires
them
to
make
fifteen
percent
over
three
years.
Fifteen
percent
improvement
over
three
years.
D
D
D
D
O
I
guess
I
want
to
bring
some
of
the
concerns
that
my
constituents
have.
We've
done
a
lot
of
talking
and
and
especially
last
night
lots
of
conversation
some
folks.
Some
people
are
so
busy.
Teachers
are
so
busy
that
they
haven't
been
paying
that
close
attention,
but
they
really
started
paying
attention
last
night,
unfortunately
late,
but
what
I'm
hearing
so
much
is
I'm
not
hearing
that
they
hate
it.
O
Let
them
learn
about
what
it
is
and
then
have
everybody
on
board,
like
the
organizations
that
my
colleague
mentioned
that
are
currently
not
on
board.
You
know
it's
unfortunate
that
our
teachers
are
only
going
to
see
about
a
50
a
month
increase
in
their
paychecks
this.
This
coming
up
year,
I
think
that
they
deserve
so
much
more.
O
O
O
We
have
other
options.
We
have
better
options.
We
can
work
longer
to
answer
some
of
the
questions
and
concerns
that
so
many
teachers
have.
I
haven't
heard
from
one
teacher
that
supports
this
bill.
I
haven't
heard
from
one.
I
was
watching
conversation
on
some.
Some
facebook
posts
on
posts
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle
just
to
get
a
broader
spectrum
of
the
people
that
I
that
typically
reach
out
to
me,
and
it
was
like
another
colleague,
said
red
and
blue
didn't
matter.
Teachers
do
not
want
this.
O
They
are
very
concerned,
especially
what
I
was
reading
were
rural
teachers,
who
are
understand
what
they're
going
to
be
missing
in
a
few
years,
and
I
just
think
that
this
was
too
short
a
time
it.
It
takes
away
so
much
of
our
local
control,
our
teachers,
don't
like
it,
our
principals
and
administrators,
don't
like
it.
Many
of
our
parents,
don't
like
it
and
many
commun
community
members,
don't
I
have
heard
from
numerous
community
organizations
the
it
was
touted
that
half
of
one
group
and
their
their
organization
supported
this
bill,
but
also
half
of
them.
O
Didn't
half
of
the
groups
that
support
education
in
the
state.
Don't
support
this
bill.
The
organizations
that
teachers
and
superintendents
are
in
can't
come
out
in
support
of
this
bill.
I
think
that
that
should
make
us
question
it.
I
think
we
should
slow
this
down
and
take
a
little
more
time
and
get
something
out
that
has
the
details
in
it
and
then
let
folks
look
at
them
and
then
we
make
that
decision.
O
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members.
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
quick
reply
to
that.
As
far
as
some
of
the
discussion
that's
been
had
about
this
legislation
and
about
the
support
that
that
we
hear
is
lacking
first,
I
want
to
say
that
across
the
state
there,
during
this
process,
there
have
been
16
department
of
ed
tennessee
department
of
education,
town
halls,
18
subcommittees
with
six
meetings.
Each
108
meetings,
total
twiddle
twitter
town
halls
every
two
weeks,
53
local
district
meetings
for
our
rural
communities.
O
O
That
and-
and
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
department
of
education
because,
as
I
talked
to
them,
many
of
them
said
you
know,
we've
got
these
questions
because
at
first
I
wasn't
hearing
from
them
and
I
started
calling
and
I'm
like.
Why
are
we
not
hearing
anything
from
them?
They
said
we're
talking
to
the
department
and
they're
answering
our
questions
through
this
process.
That
made
me
feel
comfortable
knowing
those
directors
or
boots
on
the
ground.
O
Some
of
them
had
some
concerns
here
and
there,
but
they
said
overall,
this
is
good
legislation
for
the
students
of
tennessee
and
therefore
I
support
it
because
I
support
them
and
they
know
what's
going
on
and
their
daily
activities.
So
with
that
members,
I
would
ask
you
to
support
the
legislation.
Thank
you.
D
Q
D
A
lot
of
local
control
for
how
you
hire
and
use
your
funds
I'll
say
that
you
know
we
had
an
example
given
of
like
if
you
were
running
a
business
and
you
were
given
your
budget
and
said,
hey
95
of
your
budget
is
locked
in,
but
you
can
do
five
percent
with
you
know,
with
whatever
you
want
to
do
with
it,
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
run
your
business.
The
way
you
would
want
to
run
it.
We
hear
something
a
lot
down
here.
You
hear
people
say
all
the
time.
Let
teachers
teach.
D
T
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
sponsors
we
went
around
and
around
on
this
for
several
weeks
in
the
education
committees,
the
subcommittee,
the
full
committee,
several
of
us,
worked
across
the
aisle
to
try
to
figure
out
not
only
this
legislation,
but
what
its
possible
impact
would
be.
I
appreciate
the
chairman
of
those
committees
allowing
for
that
discussion.
It's
probably
the
most
thorough
discussion.
We've
had
on
a
single
piece
of
legislation
up
here
and
that's
why
I
was
so
disappointed
yesterday
when
no
discussion
was
had.
T
It's
only
the
end
of
april.
Nothing
is
more
important
than
how
we
fund
and
support
our
public
schools.
This
has
been
a
rushed
process
from
the
get-go.
I
would
argue
to
use
my
other
colleague's
term
scheme.
This
scheme
was
cooked
before
we
had
these
tours
across
the
state.
He
got
public
feedback
and,
to
the
extent,
some
of
it
overlapped
and
looked
the
same.
T
That
third
option
was
never
allowed
that
that
discussion
never
took
place,
and
it's
incumbent
upon
us
to
make
sure
that
discussion
takes
place
where
everybody
who
has
a
stake
in
this
game-
lawmakers,
educators,
administrators
parents,
people
who
truly
value
our
public
schools
have
an
opportunity
to
craft
a
thoughtful
piece
of
legislation.
That
is
a
true
tennessee
plan.
T
T
Funding
was
passed
in
an
appropriations
bill,
tsa
contains
no
dollar
amount.
There's
no
dollar
amount
in
there
per
pupil
for
the
base
amount.
This
bill
is
not
going
to
result
in
a
billion
more
dollars.
We
already
passed
an
appropriations
budget
and
a
bill.
This
bill
doesn't
guarantee
anything
all
this
bill
guarantees
with
all
its
holes.
Is
that
we're
punting
our
responsibility
to
tennessee
taxpayers
and
our
public
schools
and
our
public
school
students
and
families
to
unelected
administrators
and
bureaucrats,
to
make
every
decision
to
fill
in
every
hole
that
we're
leaving
in
here?
T
T
T
T
T
T
If
we
want
to
think
about
improving
educational
outcomes,
let's
get
our
priorities
straight
and
I
keep
hearing
yeah.
We
want
to
provide
teachers
benefits.
We
want
to
provide
teachers
resources.
We
want
to
address
aces
like
hunger
in
our
classrooms.
I
keep
hearing
this
excuse
over
and
over
about
money.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
we
over
collected
2.5
billion
dollars
in
this
state
in
sales
taxes
since
august,
not
even
a
full
fiscal
year.
T
We
over
collected
2.5
billion
dollars
and
that's
not
including
what
we're
sitting
on
so,
let's
look
in
the
mirror
and
ask
ourselves:
what
are
our
priorities?
Do
we
care
about
public
schools?
Do
we
care
about
public
school
children?
Do
we
care
about
doing
all
the
stuff?
We
say
we
do,
because
I
can
think
that
there
is
no
better
way
to
spend
our
money
than
improving
our
public
schools,
yet
we're
only
increasing
it
by
this
amount
we
can't
even
give
teachers
insurance.
T
T
Let's
address
inequity,
let's
assure
equitable
distribution
of
funds,
but
first
step.
Let's
increase
the
pie,
let's
spend
the
money
that
actually
reflects
what
we
say.
Our
priorities
are
and
not
vote
for
stuff,
just
because
it's
rammed
down
our
throat
in
seven
months
and
doesn't
include
any
of
your
input
or
feedback.
T
T
Please
think
about
this.
If
you
go
home,
if
you
voted
for
that
budget,
nobody
can
say
you
didn't
increase
funding
for
public
schools.
That
box
has
checked
you've
done
that
what
you
can
go
home
and
say
is
I
didn't
vote
for
a
piece
of
legislation
with
which
I
don't
agree
and
doesn't
have
our
public
school
interest
in
in
mind
and
has
priority
one.
That's
our
job.
T
S
S
We
are
taking
any
more
money
we're
blessed
in
this
legislation
for
traditional
public
school
education,
we're
adding
one
billion
new
dollars,
a
million
students
time.
That's
what
what
is
that?
A
ten
thousand
dollars
per
student
that
ran
into
the
educational
system,
one
billion
also
in
this
legislation,
is
125
million
more
dollars
for
teacher
raises
as
we
grow,
we're
continuing
more
money
and
if
I'm
fortunate,
to
keep
serving
the
state
in
the
future
I'll
advocate
for
more.
T
T
This
is
a
blueprint
for
dismantling
public
schools
in
tennessee,
and
if
you
don't
see
that,
I
ask
you
to
really
spend
some
time
reading
this
legislation
and
look
to
whom
we're
punting
all
of
our
responsibility,
there's
not
a
billion
dollars
in
here
there's,
not
even
six
thousand
eight
hundred
and
sixty
dollars
per
student
in
the
base
amount
in
this
bill,
you
will
notice
that
all
dollar
amounts
and
any
money
is
lacking
from
this.
You
don't
know
what
that
is.
T
We
have
not
taken
steps
to
assure
that
if
you
pass
the
budget,
you
voted
for
an
increase
in
public
school
funding,
you're
good.
But
if
you
go
home
and
try
to
answer
a
question
well,
how
am
I
guaranteed?
This
is
going
to
happen.
This
is
what
I've
heard
is
going
to
happen
in
this
bill.
You
can't
tell
them,
because
it's
not
in
here
everything
is
contingent
upon
future
funding
or
the
acts
of
administrators
on
a
board
or
a
commission.
C
S
That
language
is
not
in
this
bill
because
that
language
is
the
funding,
is
already
in
the
base.
We're
trying
to
get
away
from
funding
according
to
ratios,
but
funding
according
to
the
individual
student
needs,
and
that
money
goes
to
district
for
the
district
to
decide
what
they
need
in
each
capacity.
B
C
B
S
S
G
R
R
R
We
went
for
months
a
little
while
back
trying
to
get
some
of
our
families
certified
with
dhs
through
no
fault
of
their
own,
no
fault
of
the
families.
They
followed
the
process
and
for
whatever
reason
they
went
months.
You
might
recall
this
where
they
were
having
difficulty
getting
certified.
They
were
having
difficulty
getting
the
allowance
for
them
to
even
get
the
necessary
funds
on
their
cards,
etc.
S
As
far
as
the
actual
language
in
the
funding
form,
whether
you're,
bep
or
tissa,
or
anything
else,
to
address
to
address
that
question,
no,
that
would
be
done
through
the
department
level,
the
district
level,
the
school
level
superintendent
level.
To
do
that.
One
thing
that
would
help
in
this
formula
that
you,
if
you
have
a
child,
that's
in
school,
you
would
know
exactly
how
much
your
child
is
generating,
because
you
would
add
up
as
long
as
20
likes
sort
of
127
elements
and
47
components
on
a
bdp.
S
You
got
20
lines,
you
add
up
and
if
your
child
is
an
economically
disadvantaged
situation
and
then
in
that
school
25
of
the
base,
if
they
are
in
a
small
district
or
concentrated
poverty,
that's
another
five
percent
each
on
those.
So
you
add
all
that
up,
and
then
you
know
how
much
your
child
is
generating.
If
you're
not
getting
it,
then
you
have
you
have
more
effects.
You
have
more
transparency.
R
Thank
you.
I
don't
think
that
addresses
my
concern.
My
concern
is
that
we
will
not
have
identified
families
and
children
through
those
preset
certification
programs,
whether
it's
snap
or
one
of
the
other
programs,
and
that
the
leas
need
to
have
something
in
place.
Some
metrics
in
place
that
is
approved
by
the
state
to
identify
those
children
and
receive
the
funding
accordingly.
R
R
B
S
The
shelby
county
schools
will
benefit
from
this
because
shelby
county
urban
schools
do
have
a
larger
proportion
of
concentrated
poverty
and
economic
disadvantage.
So
they
will
benefit
greatly
from
this
formula.
Is
one
of
our
urban
districts
and
as
far
as
the
second
part
of
your
question,
was
the
local
portion,
vep
or
or
the
tissa
formula.
You
have
a
maintenance
of
excuse
me.
You
have
a
fiscal
capacity
of
each
community.
S
The
the
formula
would
be
like
a
70
30
70
state
30
the
local,
but
depends
on
the
physical
capacity
of
the
commit
each
community
as
to
how
much
that
is,
and
then
each
each
community
has
its
own
maintenance
of
effort.
So,
according
to
the
graphs,
that's
been
for
those
who
are
number
crunchers
as
we
look
what
the
what
the
local
portion
is
for
the
next
10
years,
the
tissa
form
stays
below
the
bep
formula
for
the
next
10
years
running
out,
even
that
far,
so
it
doesn't
change
that
you
still
have.
S
R
S
S
No
based
on
the
physical
capacity
communities
like
shelby
county
davidson
county,
severe
williamson,
they
have
a
much
greater
physical
capacity
than
does
lauderdale
county
or
lake
county
grundy
wayne,
distress,
counties,
and
so
the
percentage
changes
for
them
because
they
don't
have
the
fiscal
capacity
that
he's
larger
because
of
the
tourism
of
the
industry
here.
So
those
things
change.
So
it
depends
on
on
the
the
ability
of
each
of
each
a
district
or
each
county
to
to
pay.
You
know
their
proportion.
S
R
R
R
The
fact
that
we'll
have
children
who
will
at
some
point
be
depending
upon
how
things
go,
could
possibly
be
without
a
home.
Is
there
anything
in
this
that
addresses
capital
expenditures
that
could
accommodate
those
children
who
might
be
displaced
by
the
germantown
schools
negotiations
and
possible
settlement.
S
S
I
am
trying
to
thank
virtual
schools.
This
school
districts
that
have
set
up
virtual
schools
would
get
the
funding.
I
don't
think
it's
proportional
to
the
in
classroom,
but
yes,
they
would
also.
They
will
also
be
supporting
if
you
have
a
if
your
district
has
virtual
schools
established.
That
would
be
funny
also.
R
S
S
R
R
L
S
Thanks,
sir,
thank
you,
mr
speaker
yeah
rural
school.
There
is
also
in
the
weights
we
have
especially
school
there's
small
districts
or
sparse
districts,
for
example,
if
you're
in
an
lea
with
fewer
than
25
students
per
square
mile,
or
if
you
have
a
small
district
less
than
a
thousand
students.
Each
child
gets
an
additional
five
percent
of
the
base,
because
there's
additional
transportation
needs
the
students
are
spread
out.
More
so,
for
our
rural
areas
also
will
benefit
from
this.
L
L
S
S
Yes,
without
be
up
to
easy,
lea
to
to
determine
the
charter
schools
that
coming
to
there
that's
the
way
the
law
reads
right
now,
I'm
I'm
a
big
opponent
of
public
schools.
As
you
know,
I've
supported
charter
schools,
but
in
areas
where
they're
needed,
where
there's
where
parents
need
to
need
a
choice
where
their
education
child
is
not
being
fulfilled.
But
that's,
let's
say
a
different
issue
is
not
part
of
this
bill.
L
You've
been
a
big
supporter
of
education
period
and
done
a
fantastic
job,
no
question
there.
My
concern
is
unintended
consequences
of
what
could
possibly
happen
to
our
rural
schools,
obviously
as
a
legislature
in
this
business
in
this
building
we're
concerned
about
all
about
schools
at
all
times
in
order
to
continue
to
move
the
state
forward.
L
Certainly
we
have
to
make
sure
that
tennessee
has
an
educated
population
period
from
tip
to
tip
mountain
city
to
memphis
tennessee,
and
that
gives
me
a
little
bit
of
consternation
about
this
particular
bill
and
then,
when
I
hear
the
apprehensive
seemingly
a
lot
of
the
members
I'd
love
to
study
this
thing
a
little
bit
longer
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
making
any
grievous
mistakes
as
related
to
public
education.
I
really
would,
but
thank
you
for
your
efforts
and
the
committee.
L
L
L
L
We
ain't
gonna,
get
nothing
done
here
this
evening
because
everybody
knows
what's
wrong
with
it,
but
nobody
knows
what's
right
about
it,
why
don't
we
go
home
and
talk
to
our
school
directors,
our
school
teachers,
all
of
the
people
that
involved
this
is
on
a
daily
basis,
see
what's
wrong,
bring
it
back
and
fix
it.
That's
what
we
do.
L
Frankly,
I'm
tired
of
sitting
here
when
I
got
to
drive
200
and
almost
200
miles
listening
to
people
go
over
and
over
about
the
same
thing,
the
same
questions
the
same
thing
over
and
over
and
we're
not
making
any
progress
tissue
is
not
going
to
fund
it.
It's
not
a
funding
for
somebody
said
that
we're
going
to
be
funding
schools
this
year,
just
like
we
always
funded
schools.
L
I
rise
in
support
of
your
first
step.
I
certainly
don't
think
it's
all
right.
I've
talked
to
my
people,
they
don't
think
it's
all
right.
I'm
gonna
meet
with
them
this
summer.
I'm
gonna
find
out
what
their
concerns
are.
I'm
gonna
bring
them
back
to
you
and
hopefully
we
can
fix
them,
but
we
need
to
stop
acting
like
a
bunch
of
kids.
L
Let's
do
what
we
need
to
do.
It's
a
start,
mr
chairman,
I'm
not
saying
it's
right,
but
it's
a
starting.
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this
start
to
us
and
I'm
willing
to
work
with
you,
I'm
willing
to
stand
with
you.
We
get
something
done
over
the
next
two
years
to
fix.
What's
wrong
with
this,
and
I
can
sit
here
and
tell
you
I'm
sure
I
can
find
a
thousand
things
wrong
with
it,
but
it
ought
to
be
at
least
one
thing
right
about
it
and
the
one
right
thing
I
found
about
it.
B
S
A
A
A
A
One
hundred
thousand
dollars
was
given
to
sycamore
institute
to
encourage
them
to
support
this
bill.
I
used
to
value
their
information,
but
it's
tainted
in
my
eyes.
Right
now,
ed
trust
was
given
a
half.
A
million
dollars
to
support
tisa
score
was
given
650
thousand
dollars,
and
the
chamber
was
given
100.
A
A
A
A
A
So,
yes,
we
should
slow
down
on
this.
Most
of
our
money
is
spent
on
education
and
we're
dealing
with
our
future.
Our
children-
I
don't
want
to
be
here
playing
profes.
I
don't
want
to
be
here
playing
professional
whack-a-mole
and
that's
true
in
education,
especially,
we
have
to
constantly
go
after
stuff,
that's
influencing
our
kids.
A
I
wasn't
going
to
support
it
the
very
day
they
changed
coming
to
the
instructional
committee.
To
let
us
hear
it.
So
we
could
ask
the
question
because
really
truthfully
they
should
have
been
before
the
educational,
the
education
instructional
committee,
because
that's
what
we're
talking
about
here
we're
talking
about
instructing
our
children.
A
A
A
A
When
we
push
green
and
red
yeah,
we
could
come
back
and
fix
it,
but
you
know
I've
always
heard
that
we're
supposed
to
learn
from
history.
I
learned
one
thing
in
2009
when
I
reluctantly
voted
for
race
to
the
top,
because
they
said
hey
terry
lynn,
just
vote,
for
we
can
come
back
next
year
and
fix
it
and
besides
they
need
the
money.
A
A
We
are
the
ones
that
are
responsible
for
what
passes
out
of
here
and
I'm
going
to
ask
you
members
to
seriously
think
about
what
you're
fixing
to
do,
and
I
just
I
thank
you
for
all
the
work.
That's
done.
I
don't
mean
this
in
a
bad
way
whatsoever,
but
I
will
not
support
this
bill.
Thank
you
chamber
and
thank
you.
Members.
B
L
B
J
The
house
version
of
this
bill
that
we
passed
had
a
amendment
on
it
where,
if
a
student
receives
their
bachelor
degree
in
three
years,
then
they
could
go
on
and
use
one
year
of
their
scholarship,
the
hope
scholarship
for
grad
school
and
the
senate.
Version
of
this
bill
did
not
have
that
amendment
on
it.
So
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
moved
to
lift
from
the
table
the
motion
to
reconsider
our
action
in
passing
senate
bill
2405.
J
B
J
B
J
B
B
I
B
C
I
K
I
B
B
E
B
T
B
T
D
I
noticed
it
was
in
there
earlier
and
maybe
the
speaker
can
describe-
and
I
know
the
senate
didn't
take
up
representative
moody's
bill.
We
had
last
year
when
we
passed
coveted
19
protections.
We
had
people
the
right
not
to
die
alone,
and
it's
mentioned
in
emergency
situations.
That's
still
in
here
is
that
still
only
during
emergency
powers.
A

G

Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
if
I
can
ask
representative
crawford
to
join
me
representative
crawford,
if
you
can
come
forward,
please,
sir,
this
is
the
resolution
we
discussed
a
moment
ago.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
for
many
many
many
years
now,
senator
lundberg
former
house
representative
lundberg
brought
his
his
dog
down
to
the
legislature.
G
Nash
and
nash
became
like
part
of
the
family
and,
unfortunately,
a
few
days
ago,
he
passed
away
and
representative
crawford
myself
and
many
of
you,
I
think,
definitely
share
the
grief
of
the
loss
of
a
valued
pet
and
friend
and
someone
that
literally
for
my
first
days
walking
the
halls
of
the
capital
I
mean
was
just
a
part
of
who
we
are
down
here.
So
this
rest,
this
resolution
would
recognize,
nash
and
and
really
for
here
on
recognize
the
contribution
of
him
to
the
process
that
we're
in
down
here.

I
You,
mr
speaker,
members,
as
you
can
see,
there's
an
unbelievable
amount
of
respect,
appreciation
and
love
for
this
young
lady
right
here.
I
someone
said
recently
in
the
last
week
and
they
and
they
gave
honor
to
the
people
who
make
this
place
happen
if
you
have
been
in
the
legislature
at
all
and
if
you've
served
on
the
health
care
committee.
I
I
I
We
might
make
it
in
the
news
we
might
be
out
there.
We
might
say
we
passed
a
bill,
but
here's
the
deal
if
you
passed
a
bill
in
the
health
committee,
you
didn't
do
that
on
your
own.
You
did
that
with
the
health
of
this
young
lady
right
here,
and
there
are
people
like
her
all
through
this
capital,
that
it
is
right
and
good,
and
just
for
us
to
honor.
So
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
for
allowing
us
to
honor
her.
I
E
D
B
K
T
Hey
miss
figger.
I
don't
get
to
come
up
here
often,
but
now
I
that's.
Certainly
it's
your
special
guest
last
party
give
to
me,
but
I
just
want
to
give
this
little
bipartisan
flair,
because
judy
really
epitomizes
everything,
that's
great
about
this
body
and
all
the
work
that
she
did
with
the
health
committee.
T
From
my
experience,
you
know
providing
valuable
insight
and
input
to
everyone,
not
just
a
speaker,
not
just
a
chairman,
but
us
lowly
members
of
the
health
committee
when
I
came
in
as
a
freshman
speaker,
hartwell
put
me
on
the
health
committee,
and
that
was
very,
very
gracious
of
her
and
you
know
I'm
a
lawyer.
I've
certainly
never
been
in
operating
room
or
worked
in
a
medical
clinic
or
anything.
T
C
C
C
C
So,
as
I
always
say,
you
know
all
good
things
have
to
come
to
an
end,
and
so
this
is
my
time
to
come
to
an
end
here
with
the
general
assembly.
I'm
pass
the
baton
to
somebody,
but
it's
been
great
and
just
everybody
that
I've
worked
with
over
the
years,
the
clerk
staff.
I
can't
say
enough
about
the
clerk's
staff.
C
The
clerks
would
come
to
our
friday
staff
meetings
when
I'm
sure
they
had
other
things
they
wanted
to
do,
but
they
were
always
there
for
us
to
support
us
everybody
in
the
speaker's
office.
I've
made
some
new
friends
in
the
speaker's
office,
but
they
were
always
there
to
support
us
and
what
we
were
trying
to
do,
and
I
very
much
appreciate
that
it
has
been
the
greatest
honor
and
privilege
of
my
career
short
of
having
my
child
to
be
able
to
do
what
I
do.
C
It's
a
passion,
but
I
have
loved
every
minute
of
it.
When
I
walk
through
those
doors,
I
still
feel
a
great
sense
of
awe
that
I
actually
get
to
do
something
inside
this
chamber,
and
that
makes
me
bittersweet
about
this
being
the
last
time
that
I
walked
through
those
doors.
But
that's
okay,
as
the
speaker
said
to
me
it's
time
for

to
do
things
that
you
want

it's
time
for
some
new
beginnings,
a
new
normal.

So
there's
seven
ways
to
eat
a
pizza.
Three
ways
did
not
make
it
on
this
house
floor,
nobody
ate
the
pizza
upside
down,
we
didn't
have
forker
knives
and
no
one
did
the
john
travolta
style,
which
was
stack
them
up
now.
The
four
ways
that
I
did
notice
there
were
a
few
people
who
were
what
they
call
topping
removers
the
folders
backwards
eaters.
I
won't
name
names
on
that
and
the
bulk
of
you
were
hands.
It
is
the
original
style.

Leader,
lambert,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
for
those
of
us
that
may
have
missed
lunch.
I
know
there
were
several
lunches
that
were
coming
out
of
the
chamber.
The
treasurer
was
kind
enough
to
send
some
cookies
in.
So,
if
you're
in
need
of
sustenance
up
here
at
chairman
faison's
office,
there
are
some
really
really
good
looking
cookies
and
it
would
make
a
fine
lunch
if
y'all
want
to
join
me
in
this.
In
this
regard,
thank
you.
I
I
I
B

M
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
If
I
get
everyone's
attention
very
quickly
in
two
weeks
we
have
memphis
in
may,
which
is
a
celebration
of
all
things
memphis
and
we
have,
or
arguably
I
would,
I
would
argue,
the
world's
best
barbecue
festival,
and
on
that
thursday
I
believe
it's
the
14th.
I
have
a
limited
amount
of
spots
for
members
that
would
like
to
come
and
visit
memphis
and
see
the
barbecue
fest.
So
if
you're
interested
please
reach
out
to
my
office-
and
let
me
know
thank
you.

I
don't
know
what
I
started
here.
His
name
is
carlos
and,
unfortunately
he's
a
protected
endangered
animal
that
is
not
open
to
visitation.
So
I'm
very,
very
sorry,
but
if
you'd
like
to
reach
out
to
the
his
rack
his
representative
representative
vaughn,
he
may
be
able
to
arrange
that
for
you.
So
all
right,
I
put
that
on
him.
G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
since
we
have
a
little
time
and
we're
inviting
to
really
really
special
great
events.
I
know
that
representative
gillespie
said
that
there
were
a
very
limited
number
of
vip
tickets
to
the
memphis
and
may
deal
if
you
really
want
to
have
a
good
time.
Okay,
there's
an
unlimited
amount
of
tickets
available
in
portland
tennessee
on
may
the
14th
for
the
strawberry
festival.
Now
there
are
other
folks
in
this
chamber
that
think
they
have
a
strawberry
festival.
I
get
that,
but
the
true
strawberry
festival
is
in
portland
tennessee.
G
All
the
week
up
to
may
14th
y'all
come
join
us
the
governor
came
and
was
in
the
parade.
Last
year
it
was
wonderful.
Put
that
stick
down.
The
true
strawberry
festival
is
in
portland,
tennessee
y'all
come
join
us
on
may
14th
and
if
you've
never
had
a
fried
snickers,
I
guarantee
you
you
can
find
it
there
as
well
as
anything
else.
You
could
ever
imagine
fried.

Mr
speaker,
I
hate
to
report
this,
but
there's
a
there's,
a
culprit
in
the
house
that
has
actually
stolen
something
from
the
reverend.
The
good
right,
reverend
johnny,
shaw,
salaam,
shallam
preacher
set
allowance.
The
lounge
preacher
sat
down.
Somebody
has
lifted
his
cord.
That
would
allow
him
to
have
power
to
the
internet
power,
to
the
car
power
to
everything
he
has
they.
I
saw
him
with
the
cord
and
somebody's
lifted.
Now
there
are
two
culprits.
I
believe
he
may
be
a
part
of
it.
L
Clemens
may
be
a
part
of
it.
He
looks
guilty
and
bo
may
be
a
part
of
it.
So
I'm
gonna
need
the
sergeant-at-arms
to
come
over
here
and
do
a
little
shake
down.
We
got
to
figure
out.
What's
going
on,
because
cars
don't
walk
coins,
don't
talk,
coys,
don't
move!
Somebody
got
this
man's
cord.
We
need
to
get
the
court
okay
now.
Are
you
guilty
or
innocent?
