State Rep. Jeremy Durham, R-Franklin, will be moved to offices away from the Capitol complex as an investigation into alleged inappropriate behavior continues, House Speaker Beth Harwell announced today. Durham’s access to committee rooms and the House chamber will be limited to when meetings are taking place, the Nashville Post reports. "Although the Attorney General's investigation is ongoing," Harwell, R-Nashville, said, "I feel compelled to take proactive steps to protect all parties concerned until the conclusion of the investigation." The move comes as Attorney General Herbert Slatery announced he found Durham’s “alleged behavior may pose a continuing risk to unsuspecting women" at the Capitol complex.
