“The fact that they only gave money when he was doing these final rules,

Rivera makes ethics group's 'ugly' list
By Daniel Chacon, The Colorado Springs Gazette,
June 25, 2009
Colorado Springs Mayor Lionel Rivera has received a dubious distinction in Colorado Ethics Watch's second annual report featuring the "good, the bad and the ugly" in state ethics.
Rivera, who is being investigated for a possible conflict of interest because of his financial ties to a developer who won a city contract, landed in the "ugly" category.
The city's ethics commission is investigating Rivera and has not yet reached a conclusion.
However, Colorado Ethics Watch, a nonprofit watchdog organization, said Rivera "appears" to have committed an ethics breach.
