Former Republican state Sen. Ray Albright died on Monday, the Times Free Press reports. He was 83. He won a seat in the Tennessee House in 1968 on a promise to battle pollution, and was elected to the Senate in 1970. Thanks to his sponsorship of a bill that made Chattanooga State into a technical community college, a building on that campus bears his name. "You always knew [that] if Ray was committed to a bill you never had to look over your shoulder to see if he was still there. No matter how rough it got, he never flinched,” said Lt. Gov. Randy McNally.
