One thing you can say about Kim Gardner is she doesn’t let minor distractions get in the way.
The Circuit Attorney’s Office is crumbling around her. There is a pending quo warranto writ filed by the Attorney General to remove her from office for blatant incompetence. There is a bill going though the state legislature to effectively take away her handling of serious criminal cases and give them to an appointed prosecutor. Her criminal trial staff, presently operating at fewer than half the necessary attorneys, will soon be losing its Chief Trial Assistant and at least three other of her assistant prosecutors who have recently given notice. The state auditor is auditing her office. Many of her political allies have distanced themselves from her. There have been numerous calls for her to resign. And, she has a 23% approval rating among City voters.
What do you do when you’re caught in the midst of all this?
Well, if you’re Kim Gardner you host a forum to discuss her ideas on criminal justice reforms. It’s this Thursday. Cake may be served.
