"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."
Ethics panel to hear complaint against Colorado Springs mayor
By Leslie Jorgensen, The Colorado Statesman,
June 12, 2009
COLORADO SPRINGS — A panel convenes June 12 to reconsider a complaint that accuses Colorado Springs Mayor Lionel Rivera of breeching the city’s ethics ordinance. The complaint filed by Ron Johnson accuses Rivera of having a conflict of interest in negotiating a deal to keep the U.S. Olympic Committee headquarters here.
The complaint will be heard by only two members of the city’s three-member “Independent Ethics Committee.” Jan Doran resigned Tuesday after questions arose about her relationship with Rivera. As The Colorado Statesman reported last month, Doran had campaigned for Rivera’s re-election in 2007 and had previously endorsed his unsuccessful Republican bid for Congress in 2006.
