Newly elected U.S. Rep. Tom Graves is scheduled to give his side of the story in a multimillion-dollar lawsuit filed against him by Bartow County Bank. Graves, a Republican from Ranger, is scheduled to give a deposition in Atlanta on Tuesday as part of the lawsuit, which also names state Sen. Chip Rogers, R-Woodstock. The suit, filed in January, alleges that a business run by Graves and Rogers defaulted on a loan for $2.25 million and that Graves moved some of his property to his wife’s name to make it more difficult for the bank to collect.
