IEC postpones consideration of Weld County case (Cozad) until Commissioner Sorensen can participate. Commissioner Leone is recused. #copolitics

[CO Ethics Watch @COEthicsWatch]

Commission now hearing arguments on whether Weld County has an Ethics Code sufficient to oust the IEC of jurisdiction under the Home Rule provision of A41. #copolitics

[Tyler Silvy @tylersilvy]

Now commission is going into executive session regarding Cozad complaint. Likely discussing jurisdiction issues, as Cozad and others have argued Weld County, a home rule county, is not subject to IEC's authority. Context: https://t.co/VQSThVlqOw

IEC votes 3-0 to approve final order in favor of Rep. Ransom on complaint, with Commissioner Sorensen excused and Commissioner Reiff abstaining and to file a separate concurrence. #coleg #copolitics

Commission started 20 minutes late...guess I wasn’t the only one with traffic probs. Now in executive session re: another case. https://t.co/DSugxVV9u0

[CO Ethics Watch @COEthicsWatch]

Commissioner Leone floats idea that IEC is exempt from Open Meetings Law and could draft rulings in private. That would be an unfortunate expansion of #SCOCO’s 4-3 decision that #coleg couldn’t make frivolousness determinations judicially reviewable. #copolitics

[CO Ethics Watch @COEthicsWatch]

Commissioner Reiff is concerned that IEC’s approach to gift ban travel exceptions is formulaic and vulnerable to being skirted. #coleg #copolitics
