The already thoroughly-splattered shit passed through the fan once more last night, at a meeting of the City Council’s finance committee, where everybody was asking: Who was that lazy city employee hanging out on that slushy, muddy knoll?

You can check out the footage on Channel 6, which has it as their top story.

And, God help us — John Igliozzi’s about to get subpoena power. Understandable, given the trouble they’ve had getting a hold of the mayor’s Chief of Staff:

The council’s Finance Committee had asked Brayton and Kim Rose, the School Department’s chief communications officer, to attend last night’s meeting and testify about their actions the night of the storm. Rose attended, but Brayton did not.

The meeting was delayed as Igliozzi tried unsuccessfully to track her down. Then, Igliozzi asked that Stephanie Federico, the ranking member of the Cicilline administration at the meeting, to give the city clerk Brayton’s city cell phone number.

Federico provided the number, and Igliozzi called it on speakerphone during the meeting.

The committee room was silent as the call rang out on the speaker.

The call went to Brayton’s voice mailbox.

“Hmm. She must not be available,” Igliozzi said in a deliberate tone. “I think it’s very concerning that one of the individuals who played an integral part in that day is not responding.”
