The Tennessee General Assembly last week honored outgoing Administrative Office of the Courts Director Deborah Taylor Tate with a Joint House Resolution on the House floor. Rep. Andy Farmer, R-Sevierville, and Rep. William Lamberth, R-Portland, spearheaded the effort to create proclamation 672, which states Tate “is to be commended for her exemplary service as Administrative Director of the Administrative Office of the Courts, and for her many years of honorable and astute service to the citizens of Tennessee.” Tate retired from her role with the AOC in February. “There’s no greater challenge and no greater honor than public service, and you are all truly public servants,” Tate said. The occasion was recorded and can be found on the General Assembly’s website.
