"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

One of the three candidates for Routt County sheriff is looking into a 1939 federal law that could prevent him from running for elected office, but he said he is continuing his campaign until the question is resolved.
Garrett Wiggins said he is looking through the Hatch Act to determine whether his position as All Crimes Enforcement Team drug task force commander would disallow his candidacy.
The Hatch Act was enacted to prevent federal employees from taking part in partisan political activity, for the purpose of ensuring that government institutions function fairly. The Hatch Act has been interpreted to prevent federal employees from running for partisan office in most cases.
