Due to unelected bureaucrats and typical D.C. red tape, Governor Haslam was forced to call the General Assembly back into session this week so we can secure $60 million in highway funding that your taxes have already paid for. I have faith that our legislators, unlike many in Washington, will work efficiently to secure the funds and then return home to their districts.

The State of the State of Tennessee is strong as Governor Bill Haslam pointed out tonight. As he mentioned, our Republican-led General Assembly has created more than $225 million recurring tax cuts since 2011 alone, and we have a budget surplus. We now have the lowest debt per capita of any state in the nation and we’ve proposed the largest investment in K-12 education in Tennessee’s history - without a tax increase! If only folks in Washington would pay attention. We are laying out a blueprint on how a government should operate, and I’ve never been more proud to be a part of it. - BH

Today, Lt. Gov. @RonRamsey & I issued a statement in response to the refugees entering our state: https://t.co/pClHg0BIID
see more from Twitter...
Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey and I released the following statement in response to the refugees entering our state: Recent events have made it clear that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is ramping up its operations of terror against the United States and Europe. Tennessee itself experienced an act of terrorism just a few months ago in Chattanooga. Our thoughts and prayers are with the citizens of France. The mass movement of legitimate refugees seeking asylum is heartbreaking, and our heart goes out to each and every man, woman and child who is fleeing legitimate political persecution. But the opportunity that radical Islamists could embed themselves in the movement of refugees is large and growing. These refugees are impossible to thoroughly investigate and properly vet. Out of an abundance of caution, we must use any and all legal means at our disposal to stop the flow of refugees to Tennessee. We are calling for our federal representatives to place an immediate moratorium on refugees entering the United States, specifically Tennessee.

Under President Obama, the Land of the Free has become more of the Land of the "Kinda " Free. According to Fraser Institute's annual report of economic freedom, the United States economic freedom has plummeted since Obama took office. While folks in Washington continue down this disastrous path, we in Tennessee will continue to block the president and anyone else that dares to hinder our great state's record of success and freedom.

As Speaker of the House, it is an honor for me to preside in an historic chamber where the women’s right to vote was debated and the deciding vote was cast to give women across the country that right. The country watched Tennessee as we were the deciding state in the ratification of the 19th Amendment—giving women the right to vote. The story is so interesting, and I have a personal connection to it. By 1920, 35 states had ratified the 19th Amendment—one short of the number needed to amend the U.S. Constitution. A special session of the TN General Assembly was called to consider ratification. A pivotal vote belonged to Representative Harry Burn, a Republican from McMinn County, who was considered to be undecided. On the morning of the vote, Representative Burn received a note from his mother who asked her son to vote in favor of ratification. When the House clerk conducted the roll call for ratification, he called Representative Burn’s name. As we all know, Representative Burn did what any good son does by making his mother proud. He voted “Aye.” Mrs. Burn’s note to her son changed the course of history and gave millions of American women the right to vote as Tennessee became the final state needed to ratify the Constitution. You’re probably wondering my connection to it. My great-aunt was in the gallery that day. Her mother, anticipating it could be an historic day, let her skip school to witness it. As I sit in the same chamber as the first female Speaker of the House, I remember those who came before us, and fought for our rights.

It may be a long shot, but I've been waiting on Washington to balance our federal budget for far too long. It's past time our nation balances the budget the same way Tennessee does and the same way our local families and businesses have done for years.

A big win for the good guys. Tennessee Army and Air National Guard members with carry permits will now be allowed to carry firearms at State Armories and facilities. This change in policy will allow our service men and women to defend themselves if needed while they are working to protect us.

As your Speaker of the House, I'm calling a hearing to address our prison staffing issues as well as the safety of our state's military and national guard. Both issues are of great importance and should be dealt with as quickly as possible. I ask you to join our lawmakers in support by keeping us in your prayers and thoughts as we tackle the issues at hand.
