More than a dozen residents of House Speaker Cameron Sexton’s district filed a complaint with the Tennessee Attorney General, asking for a civil investigation into whether he wrongly filed reimbursement expenses with the state.
The complaint alleges by filing for the larger per diem allowed to lawmakers who live outside the State Capitol — even though he owns a home in Nashville —Sexton wrongly claimed expenses 150 times, which could result in a fine of between $375,000 and $1.5 million.
