House Speaker Beth Harwell indicated today that there will be an effort to expel embattled Rep. Jeremy Durham when the legislature reconvenes in a special session next week. “Expulsion motions are procedural in nature, so it is permitted regardless of the call,” Harwell told The Tennessean. “There will be a motion and a vote on expulsion, and I welcome the opportunity to vote for it.” The legislature will reconvene Monday at 2 p.m. to deal with a DUI law that puts federal transportation funding in jeopardy.
