The Tennessee Department of Labor has closed the book on a complaint from state Rep. Mike Turner, finding no evidence to support the lawmaker’s claim that illegal immigrant labor was used on Metro’s convention center construction project.

A spokeswoman for the project reiterated that no illegal labor has been used for construction of the Music City Center.
