Kimberly Gold joins Nick in Studio 809 to talk about being a new city councilor! That’s right, alongside Brandy Williams, Tom Bailey and Roland Rainey, Gold is one of this city’s newest legislators. She represents the city’s district 4, which encompasses the southeast area of town, including the airport, that has been historically underrepresented and aching for economic development. She successfully ran to replace previous representative Yoland Avila, who was a fierce proponent for the district and is now running for an El Paso County commissioner seat.
Thomas Jefferson did have a recipe for ice cream and apparently popularized the French creation (or at least, that’s where he got his recipe from), but he didn’t invent it. At any rate, let’s talk about ice cream! And city government! And in the soapbox, let’s talk about school zones and how we prevent people from running over students.
