Committee backs resolution to place bust honoring Anne Davis in State Capitol
Summary
The Senate Finance, Ways and Means Committee recommended Senate Joint Resolution 10 22 to commission and display a bust of Anne Davis on the second floor of the State Capitol, honoring her role in founding the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The measure was moved, discussed briefly and recommended to the calendar.
Chair recognized Chairman Briggs to present Senate Joint Resolution 10 22, a measure brought to the committee by the lieutenant governor to commission and display a bust of Anne Davis on the second floor of the State Capitol to honor her role in founding Great Smoky Mountains National Park. "If the Great Smoky Mountain National Park had a mother, it would be Anne Davis," the sponsor said in explanation of the resolution.
Senator Hensley asked where on the second floor the bust would be placed; the sponsor and committee clarified the resolution names only the "2nd Floor" and does not designate a particular spot. With no additional questions, the committee took the vote and recommended the resolution for passage to the committee on the calendar.
