Well-known grifter Rep. Tom Graves to retire from the HOR…

Good riddance. I am just wondering what other clown this Teabilly district will elect.

While this is being reported, few news outlets include this little incident.

Tea Party aligned Georgia Rep. Tom Graves (R), who castigates Washington for fiscal irresponsibility, reached an out of court settlement Wednesday after he was sued for defaulting on a $2.2 million loan — which his attorney argued is the bank’s fault for lending him the money in the first place.Graves and his business partner Chip Rogers — who is the state Senate’s Republican majority leader — took out a $2.2 million loan from the Bartow County Bank in 2007 to buy and renovate a local motel. The project soon went belly-up.

The bank, which has since failed and had its assets taken over, sued Graves and Rogers for defaulting.

I am familiar with the building and property. I just might not have the “vision” of Graves and Rogers to transform this property into a luxury business motel. All I saw was a dilapidated truckers’ motel.
