Statement from Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey; April 24, 2012:
Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey made the following statement after the signing of Senate Bill 2246 — commonly known as the Tennessee Excellence Accountability and Management (TEAM) Act – by Gov. Haslam
“Tennesseans gave Republicans a mandate to transform state government into an efficient, transparent entity that puts a premium on customer service. The state will now have the ability to hire, promote and retain the best and brightest, finally giving Tennesseans the government they deserve. By taking on the third rail of Tennessee politics, Gov. Haslam and our Republican majority have succeeded on ground where our predecessors feared to tread. This landmark reform is incontrovertible proof that it matters who governs.”
