I guess even a common grifter can get religion. Graves is staking out a very nice legislative career. Unlike so many others who came in 2010 he seems more comfortable dealing with the nuts and bolts of politics than lights and cameras. That’s a clear path to leadership or a try for higher office.
It’s more secure and better paying employment than innkeeping.
