“The fact that they only gave money when he was doing these final rules,
that more than ever really raises flags. There’s something fishy going
on.”
Lobbyist blames ignorance in ethics probe

A lobbyist for the Colorado Chiropractic Association on Friday told a legislative ethics committee that he wasn’t aware he did anything wrong when he lobbied a state legislator for the election of a new House minority leader.
Erik Groves, an attorney who represents the association as a lobbyist, said he did not know he violated a House ethics rule when he began to ask freshman Rep. Cindy Acree, R-Aurora, to support Rep. David Balmer, R-Centennial, in Balmer’s bid to become the House Republicans’ leader.
