Remembering Tommy Burks

Rep. Henry Fincher on why he wants to carry his steel in the Plaza:

“On October 1998, a senator from Putnam County, my friend, Sen. Tommy Burks, was foully murdered on his home property by his opponent, his Republican opponent, who was running for his senate seat he was shot down dead we are in danger because of the positions we have to take so I certainly understand and agree that judges are in a difficult situation, I see that constantly. They have to make hard decisions about people’s families, their kids, and whether they are going to jail. I fundamentally disagree with the premise that we are not in danger because that danger was brought home in a very personal way to me and I take issue with that premise, Mr. Speaker.”
