Posted on January 09, 2013
The House of Representatives today officially gaveled into session, marking the beginning of the 108th General Assembly in Tennessee. Representative Barry Doss (R-Leoma) took the oath of office this week in Nashville and was officially sworn into the Tennessee House of Representatives.
Legislators are looking to build upon the success of the previous session that saw wasteful government spending cut from the budget, taxes cut for all Tennesseans, measures passed to encourage job growth, and numerous government reforms.
"Our group of new members really reflects the best of Tennessee," remarked Representative Doss. "Our collective experiences in the private sector have given us a commitment to reform government and make it a resource, instead of a hurdle, for the job creators and citizens of Tennessee."
Members of the Legislature gathered on Capitol Hill to be sworn into office. Lawmakers have already signaled clear goals of balancing the budget, lowering the grocery tax, and ensuring every Tennessee student has access to a high quality education.
