Lamar Alexander, who served three terms in the U.S. Senate and two as governor, was set to be honored by a joint convention of the General Assembly this afternoon, the Tennessee Journal reports. Alexander, a Maryville Republican who did not seek re-election last fall, also was in town to tour the new Tennessee State Library and Archives facility. The publication notes that Alexander’s first speech to a joint convention of the House and Senate occurred more than 42 years ago when he delivered his first budget address in February 1979.
