From the story...

Kim denies having anything to do with the anonymous calls.

"We only did one call, which had to do with her commitment to raise the budget for public safety-without knowing the details of the budget-when she was endorsed by the public safety union," Jennifer Kim said. "But if there's anything else, then that may be uncoordinated with my campaign."

News 8 has updated their story to reflect the campaign's admission to placing the anonymous calls.

The Kim campaign said it was political speech protected by the first amendment, and not against the election code. However, it said it will check state law to see if it was an "inadvertent technical violation."

The Shade campaign said the information in the call is false and that State law states such anonymous, automated calls are illegal.
