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.
