Speaker praised for leadership on gun bills

In a Jackson Sun opinion piece, House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh is praised for exercising his prerogative as Speaker to participate in committee and subcommittee votes--specifically on some gun bills in the Legislature: http://www.jacksonsun.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080324/OPINION/803240301/-1/newsfront2 .

No doubt many in Tennessee's GLBT community will remember when he used his prerogative to stop a ban on gay and lesbian adoptions during a 2005 committee vote.
