Rep. Graves quits committee
Republican state Rep. David Graves of Macon today announced that he is resigning his House committee chairmanship and giving up his fight to use legislative immunity as a defense in one of his two DUI cases.
A Macon lawmaker under fire for claiming his status as a legislator should shield him from a DUI charge said Friday he's dropping that defense. He's also resigning as chairman of a House committee that oversees regulation of the liquor industry.
