After first merely postponing a hearing on his recently proposed taxicab legislation in the wake of related federal bribery charges against his chief of staff, Ward 1 D.C. Council member Jim Graham has gone ahead and withdrawn the bill entirely, Tim Craig is reporting at D.C. Wire. In a rich bit of political theater, Graham is also apparently trying to sell reporters on the notion that this decision has “nothing to do” with the charges against Ted Loza. “Graham said he is pulling the bill because of confusion and opposition within the taxicab industry to a medallion system.” Suuuuuure.
