Once again, Republicans are determined to balance their budget on the backs of the most vulnerable; to hand tax breaks to millionaires, and billionaires, and corporations; and slush funds for Pentagon contractors. This budget is cruel and unusual punishment for those who are not rich. I urge my colleagues to reject this un-American, heartless budget, and to vote ``no.''

More from Bill Lee
There are a lot of questions. The people of our state deserve to have those questions answered.
I will seek an independent investigation and pause all executions for the rest of 2026.
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.
It’s exactly why we will have a thorough, comprehensive review of what happened, so that we can know the answers that so many people want.
