Bill Lee: “I personally believe in the process of collective bargaining and the rights and protections that are afforded to…”

Carrying out a lawfully imposed sentence is among the State’s most serious responsibilities, and the people of Tennessee expect it to be done in a manner that is not only legal and constitutional, but is effective.

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

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.
