Cory Gaines over at his Colorado Accountability Project Substack is encouraging people to show up and speak out in defense of transparency in Government.
On December 30th, the Executive Committee of the Legislative Council will meet and hear public testimony.
Their top agenda item is Colorado Open Meetings Laws.
In 2024, the Colorado Legislature and Jared Polis have reduced transparency at the Colorado Legislature with Senate Bill 24-157. (You can read about it here)
