"If there is a policy, there might need to be a better balance between protecting sensitive records and not inhibiting the rights of whislteblowers."

Ethics Watch Statement On The Campaign Finance Violations By Governor Ritter’s Campaign

For Immediate Release:
April 16, 2008

Statement from Chantell Taylor, director Colorado Ethics Watch: “The fact that Governor Ritter did the right thing by proactively investigating the misuse of his campaign funds does not abrogate the need for a formal investigation. The question left open is who will handle the matter? Both the attorney general and the Denver district attorney are punting and the secretary of state has not indicated whether he will launch an inquiry, although he clearly has the authority to do so. Some authority quickly should be given responsibility for this matter and a review undertaken right away. If by chance, anyone thinks that even in a case where misconduct has been revealed publicly a formal request for investigation is still required, consider this it. Ethics Watch calls for a thorough inquiry into Greg Kolomnitz's possible campaign finance and criminal violations, the public deserves as much.”
