Why should government spend taxpayer dollars to do what people in the private sector should be doing? It's absurd to think that government should fund projects like these, or that it is government's responsibility to create jobs. No, it's government's responsibility to maintain the safety of the populace and allow an environment where investment can happen and people can work their way to whatever life they choose to live.

I'm not sure what the incoming governor thinks about this, and while I don't know for sure, I think the other two legislators will be split 1-1 on this. But when it comes to me, sorry, but I simply don't think I can sign this should it reach any Governor's desk I'm sitting behind.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

I've decided to put this bill on a hiatus for now.
