I thank the gentleman for his message of hope tonight and for reminding us of the fact that poverty does take its toll on the mental health and well-being of the human spirit. I want to thank all of the Members who participated. I hope we can move in a bipartisan fashion to address some of the major, major issues that this body knows that it can address if it so chooses. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

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