Ethics Watch Turns Five
On August 1, 1876, Colorado was admitted to the Union. On August 1, 2006, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington launched Colorado Ethics Watch as its first state-based project. Five years later, we at Ethics Watch are proud of our accomplishments fighting against government officials who put private gain ahead of the public trust and for an open, transparent government that responds to the needs of all Coloradans.
We’ve made a short video to commemorate this anniversary. Click to join us in celebrating five years of success and many more to come!
