Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee proposed a $41.8 billion budget Monday night in his third State of the State address, touting his administration’s commitment to personal freedoms and local control throughout a year shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lee addressed members of the Tennessee Legislature at the War Memorial Auditorium in Nashville. In previous years, the governor’s annual address has been held in the House chamber, but legislators approved a location change this year to enable social distancing.
