I doubt that. Everyone seems to be falling all over themselves to burnish his reputation now.
This thread is proof.

Calling it "questionable ethics" is truly downplaying his behavior. Why don't we just call it for what it is, he was DC's white Marion Barry for all good and evil. I mean, the man died a strip club promoter. What else is there to say?
He was rotten to the core. Karma.

If you're concerned that this poster is revealing that Jim was alcoholic, know that he was open about it.

Wow not a fan either because he was very questionable on ethics and could be a total jerk to those who opposed him - but when we lived in Columbia Heights back before development - if we called his office - it got fixed or taken care of. Outstanding constituent service which Mary Cheh could learn from 
Plus, he was just adorable in those bow ties - always expected him to burst into "Somewhere Over a Rainbow" at whatever groundbreaking ceremony he was always at!
Saddens me that he is gone...

NBC Washington is reporting that Jim Graham, former Ward 1 councilmember, has died.
Was he sick? He wasn't very old.
