Although Senate Bill 1556 has received attention for its perceived focus, my job is to look at the actual substance of the legislation.

Good legislation should bring clarity and not confusion.

They have fast tracked it (the proposed legislation) through the House and Senate committees. It?s amazing. The only ones who could do that is Alabama Power. I think the enemy is Alabama Power.

Zanu PF is preoccupied with establishing a Senate while ignoring critical national issues that need attention,

We feel like the elected officials in the House and the Senate should be the ones looking at this legislation and making a decision. Just like we would not put to a vote for the public anything such as health codes, speed limits or things of that nature.

My job as governor is different from the legislators. They represent their districts. I have to represent all 6.6 million Tennesseans and come to the best decisions I can.
