Ted Loza in the background? hehe
You forgot to ask Jim Graham why he's so "ethically challenged."
If Jim Graham longs to live in Havana then who is stopping him from fulfilling his desire? The sooner he gets out of DC the better
Question 11: Why did you fail to call the authorities when your chief of staff Ted Loza brought you a bribe?
Question 12: Why did you charge DC taxpayers for your personal trip to Liz Taylor's funeral?
Question 13: Will you accept donations for your immediate retirement to Havana?
If Jim Graham moves to Havana, he'd fit right in: an aging, out of touch Leftie who wants to control economic activity -- and protect obsolete industries -- so that he and his friends can get his "piece" of the action.
Jim should move to Havana...anyone who would rather live somewhere else than DC should not serve on the Council.
