“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.”
Rivera ally recuses herself from ethics review
By Daniel Chacón, Colorado Springs Gazette,
June 9, 2009
Saying she was taking the high road, Jan Doran today announced that she has decided to recuse herself from hearing a conflict-of-interest complaint against Mayor Lionel Rivera, a political ally.
Doran, one of three members of the city's Independent Ethics Commission, which will review the complaint against Rivera again on Friday, had come under fire for refusing to recuse herself from the controversial investigation despite her political ties to the mayor.
Doran's about-face follows an editorial Monday in The Gazette calling for Doran to recuse herself if she cared about the mayor and Colorado Springs.
