It is claimed that King Solomon of the Old Testament said many years ago, “There is nothing new under the sun.” So it will be the 2025 session of the Tennessee Legislature.
Private school vouchers are expected to gain a share of lion attention, but the immigration bill fills lawmakers’ plates vigorously each year.
Republican Sen. Todd Gardenhire of Chattanooga sponsors a measure designed to exempt local governments from undocumented immigrant students reported to federal immigrants for deportation. The Senate Attorney’s bill follows the law passed in 2024, which requires local law enforcement agencies to inform the Fed of immigrant status of those arrested for criminal offences. It also imposes a $1,000 civil penalty on law enforcement agencies that do not comply.
However, it also pays attention to kindergarten to high school students in that it does not apply to the school resource officer and student immigration situation. Additionally, it exempts individuals who have not been arrested by local law enforcement or have contacted with police as victims or witnesses.
I don’t think we should punish a child for crimes or for misconduct committed by parents. It’s not only a personal belief, it’s all through the Bible.
– Senator Todd Garden Hier, R-Chattanooga
Gardenhire said Thursday that the bill passed last year was “inadequately written” and bypassed the Judiciary Committee after law enforcement decided that law enforcement would not be fined. . He argues that all bills affecting law enforcement should be written correctly.
But the heart of his argument is protecting children at school.
“I don’t think we should punish a child for crimes or for misconduct committed by our parents,” Gardenhire said. “It’s not just a personal belief, it’s all through the Bible.”
Gardenhire’s comments therefore also tie into church references about “pursuing the wind” and how meaningless our earthly possessions can become.
Regardless of Bible foundations, we look for Garden Hire bills, bringing good attention and conflict with other legislative works.
For example, Republican Rep. Todd Warner from Chapel Hill sponsors measures to move in the opposite direction by putting pressure on the federal government to deal with undocumented immigration.
Under his bill, 48 hours after being detained, undocumented immigrants will be transported by law enforcement to the nearest sanctuary city, up to 700 miles away. Local governments will pay the transportation and housing costs to the Tennessee Department of Revenue. The state then sends invoices to the US Treasury Department to pay the costs. If the state is not refunded for 30 days, it will withhold some of the federal motor vehicle fuel tax sent to Washington. The Senate version is sponsored by Republican Sen. Joey Hensley.
“it’s not [sic] It affects people with work visas or those with papers. This is people who cross illegally,” Warner said.
The bill is also suitable for President Donald Trump’s threat to deport undocumented immigrants. While pushing for that measure, Warner says there is a “big problem” with Garden Hire’s exemption bill, and Hensley also balked.
Warner said a Williamson County teacher recently told her that she had 25 students in her class. The main problem with that is that if you start deporting people based on English skills and bad grammar, there may be no people left in the state. The constitution also requires children to go to school.
However, based on Trump’s agenda and the Tennessee Legislature agenda, it’s better for everyone to start conjugating in English. Or, be aware of knocking on the door.
I’m still looking for votes
The coffee shop talks about Gov. Bill Lee calling a special legislative meeting for the last week of January to take up the Private School Voucher Bill. The school is a school, in addition to a year of money to ensure that local school districts don’t break quickly.
That chip, the chip, the chip you heard, the chip is not the thawing of the polar ice hat.
Of course, no one will allow special session lectures.
Lt. Col. Randy McNally said this week’s consultations are “continued” but no decisions have been made or dates have been set “for such special sessions.”
Spokesman Elizabeth Johnson said on Thursday that Lee “continued commitment to providing education freedom scholarships to Tennessee families by maintaining funds for proposals in last year’s budget. I’m grateful.” We continue to work with legislative leaders to fulfill this promise, and all options are available on the table. ”
Comments fail to point out that Congress failed to pass the voucher bill last year, as the three bad bills failed to merge into one.
House Minority Leader Karen Camper proposed a laundry list of educational ideas, including the revised K-12 funding formula, school support measures, and school “accountability” to receive voucher money.
Traditional wisdom is that Governor Lee will only call a special session if he has a vote to pass it.
Those who never give up are said to give gifts to lawmakers who oppose the voucher scheme. (I’m sorry for the belated reference for The Sage.)
Of course, if the plan is very good, why should he cut down on the deal? Maybe it’s because it’s not that special, and less: who wants their legacy to undermine public schools?
Stop talking about trash
State Senator Vincent Dixey and Tennessee Black Caucus Senators have asked former Tennessee State President Glenda Glover to brighten up as the state building committee delves into the university’s troubling finances. Masu.
The lawmakers wrote to Mumpower this week, challenging recent questions about whether TSU has cut off their ties with Glover.
“Your claim that Dr. Glover was “made like a bandit, leaving only a legacy of dysfunction,” is very troublesome,” their letter says.
Glover helped bring public admiration to the university, but Mumpower added that he “paints and disrespects” her out of his way.
The letter also suggests that Manpour will sell TSU assets to developers “stolic ethical concerns” as well as up to 545 million based on state investigations, according to a federal report. It is calling on the state to support TSU with the dollar, $2 billion in consideration. The Secretary urged TSU to sell properties at the Avon Williams campus and John C. Tune Airport in downtown Nashville.
Letter to Comptroller Mumpower (002)
Mumpower has issued this statement.I certainly respect the opinions of our members, but my role as Director is to ensure decisions that protect the financial and operational functions of Tennessee State University. A successful TSU is essential to our state.
TSU is facing a serious situation. This is when students ask difficult questions and university leaders make difficult choices.
I support my comments on the former president. There is clear and overwhelming evidence that her administration has put the university in financial danger. I’m happy to hear that the new administration and the board have concluded their relationship. ”
Without a doubt, people were surprised when it was discovered that TSU had signed a contract to pay Glover $800,000. They then agreed to pay another $800,000 to provide advice, despite the fact that the university was unable to do payroll in the fall and was able to fire around 113 employees. That’s apparently why the interim president left campus and was replaced by former council member Dwayne Tucker. The issue could work in court.
In the meantime, a group of lawmakers rethink his “aggressive” attitude towards black universities and black leaders in Mason, Tennessee, and the weak finances he caused by the previous white administration. I hammered for it.
That’s healthy advice, but don’t hold your breath waiting for Republican leaders to stifle rhetoric.
