"It makes one
wonder why a public official made certain decisions, especially ones that
benefited certain interests, when just days, months or years later they take a
lucrative job lobbying for the same interests."

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado — A group
called Colorado Ethics Watch filed a campaign finance complaint Friday
against a nonprofit that paid for at least one mailing to smear a
Democratic Garfield County Commission candidate in the fall.
The complaint was filed with the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office against the Colorado League of Taxpayers for failure to file an electioneering communication report in the last Garfield County Commission election. Colorado Ethics Watch says the Colorado League of Taxpayers (CLT) never filed the electioneering communication report with the Secretary of State or the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder’s Office by a Sept. 29 deadline.
