State Rep. Beth Harwell Becomes Speaker of
Tennessee House of Representatives
|
State Rep. Beth Harwell (R-Nashville) took the oath of office on Tuesday, January 11, 2011, to become the Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives for the 107th General Assembly by unanimous vote of the assembly. Speaker Harwell said, "I am humbled and honored that my colleagues have placed their confidence in me to lead the State House of Representatives in the 107th General Assembly. Although we face challenges as a state, I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House and Senate, and Governor-elect Haslam to move forward with a conservative agenda focusing on jobs, the state budget and education."
Harwell outlined three questions that legislation coming before the House will face before it comes to a vote:
Does it increase the size of government?
Does it make it easier to start and operate a business in Tennessee?
Does it keep us moving forward in reforming our educational system to meet the needs of the 21st Century?
Speaker Harwell closed her remarks saying, "As your speaker I pledge to work well with our new governor and to work well with each member of this body. I know we will have disagreements but I will always treat each member with respect and fairness. You have given me an awesome responsibility. I will work everyday to be worthy of your trust. There will be many tough choices and there is a lot of hard work ahead of us. But as Teddy Roosevelt said, "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
