D.C. Council Member Jim Graham could be looking at a showdown with Council Member Harry “Tommy” Thomas Jr., who Wednesday vowed to fight a bill that would allow at least four nude dance clubs to move to Ward 5.
Graham’s bill, which unanimously passed the Committee on Public Works and the Environment on Tuesday, would allow for the one-time relocation of the businesses, which were largely frequented by gay clientele. Some of the club owners sold their properties to the city, while others were taken by eminent domain to make way for the new Washington Nationals stadium in Southeast.
