Bill Lee: “I believe strongly that the budget is a moral document that very clearly outlines what we as a nation and a society…”

I have ordered a pause on all executions for the remainder of the year.

The people of Tennessee have determined that the death penalty is the appropriate penalty for the most heinous crimes in the state.

We have really seen the airport board and commissioners just step right into one decision to the next to make sure that this happened.

I hope that Tennessee governor Bill Lee’s decision to postpone the last execution scheduled for this year will give lawmakers time to consider the subject seriously.
