NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A campaign finance complaint claims that Republican House Speaker Beth Harwell received help from a political committee beyond what's legally allowed, while another complaint contends she doesn't have the money to back up a $3.1 million self-loan to her campaign for governor. One of the complaints filed this week center on a non-campaign website and a mailing by the Nashville lawmaker's leadership PAC, Tennesseans for Good State Government. They also follow the PAC's recent release of a TV ad that raises more questions about separation of Harwell's campaign, the PAC and her official office.
