Williams, upon returning from the funeral of a fellow legislator’s wife (whose surname he did mispronounced shortly after becoming speaker), makes a statement on the “resolution” of the ethics complaint made against him by Rep. Brian Kelsey:

I am pleased that the Ethics Committee has completed its work and fully resolved this matter.

It is time to turn our undivided attention to the serious challenges which we face. There are serious issues before us and we need serious people to join together to address them.

We must get past the bickering and partisanship. The people of Tennessee expect and deserve our very best as we move forward to address these issues.
