The Statesman has a follow-up article to Saturday's piece on Jennifer Kim and the hubbub surrounding access to the airport with her council member badge. According to today's article, Kim and the City Manager, Toby Futrell, are blaming an inaccurate 2005 memo that was passed out as part of Kim's orientation to her office. The memo evidently said that Kim could access the airport with only her council member badge - which is obviously untrue.
Whether or not the memo is an excuse for Kim getting all in a huff, based on our previous thread's comments, it seems that y'all are suggesting that Saturday's article and the mini-uproar is something she's had coming.
Oh, and Kelso jumps into the fray in this morning's paper, too.

Obviously some people at City Hall have been gunning for her for a while. It's not like Plohetski found this out through reporting.
Press conference at 2. Is this shit gonna go national?
Well damn. You are sure hard on your council members in Austin. And why would this go national? Is this really worth another day in the news. Now, really. City Council members are people, too. Just do what we do in Houston - no, not send them to Congress for seven weeks. Get your council good & liquored up. Does wonders for the disposition.
And in case you didn't hear, Jennifer Kim's aide resigned (was fired) yesterday.
Why do you say she was fired? Perhaps she was trying to distance herself from that toxic douchebag Kim.
Is Andy Brown gonna run for this seat??
she has had it coming indeed. she's rude, she's elitist and she has zero people skills. and she's going to have some competition on her hands next year.
