The latest print edition of The Tennessee Journal is out. Here is what’s in it:

— Kelsey signals surrender in criminal case stemming from failed bid for Congress.

— Harwell denies doing anything wrong by bankrolling federal PAC with state money.

— Legislative candidates slow on the uptake for new state campaign finance reporting requirements.

— Ogles’ fundraising totals continue to sputter, but generic ballot suggests big GOP cushion.

Also: Former Nashville mayor penning book about rise and fall, Cade Cothren gets denied request for day trips to Alabama, longtime Rep. Barbara Cooper – the recipient of a former GOP senator’s infamous “rat’s ass” email — dies, and an independent gubernatorial candidate faces legal charges.
