Update: Kasim Reed Steps In ‘It’ Again. Lawsuit On Its Way

Reed’s ham-fisted city management will result in additional payouts from the city coffers. So far, Reed is refusing to explain his decision to fire three veteran airport officials for political reasons, despite glowing performance reviews and highly effective performance. 

As reported in the Atlanta Business Chronicle.

Only last week the city coughed up more than $130,000 in a separate wrongful termination case.

This story seems to be picking up momentum.  Shaking our heads in disbelief.

Report: City fires 3 'highly effective' airport PR employees

The personnel files of three Atlanta airport employees, who airport administrators just fired, describe the workers and their work in glowing terms. But the mayor's office will not say why they were suddenly fired, citing a policy of never commenting on personnel matters, reports Atlanta Business Chronicle broadcast partner WXIA-TV.

The three veteran professionals handled public relations for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Fired, effective Sept. 28, are: John Kennedy, the airport's senior public relations manager; Al Snedeker and Katena Carvajales, the station reports. Requests for information regarding the airport are now going directly to the Mayor’s public relations people at City Hall, WXIA said.

The only hint in the files regarding why the city fired them is that maybe it had to do with some bad publicity that the city and the new International Terminal received in the news media when the terminal opened in May, the station said.
