State Rep. Steve McDaniel, R-Parkers Crossroads, who serves as chairman of the House Ethics Committee, tells the Tennessean that he will try to convene committee members late next week to take up a complaint filed against House Speaker Beth Harwell by Rep. Rick Womick, R-Rockvale. The complaint questions Harwell’s handling of a variety of situations, including the case of Rep. Curry Todd, the expulsion of Jeremy Durham and the alleged actions of House Clerk Joe McCord. Womick says these incidents show that Harwell’s leadership has become “unpredictable and vindictive."
