Scott Gessler.
Publicly discusses seeking a moonlighting gig totally in the bounds of the law.
He doesn't end up taking the job, but in the interest of transparency discloses that he is seeking additional income to support his elderly mother. He even seeks a legal opinion from the Attorney General's office to make sure he is acting within the law.
WWIII.
Editorials here, here, here, and here. Coverage EVERYWHERE.
John Morse.
Bilks the taxpayers for tax money he doesn't deserve and didn't earn. Doesn't disclose he is taking the money, but pockets the tax free cash and hopes no one notices.
Thank God for public records requests. They help find the dirt that corrupt politicians like John Morse try to sweep under the carpet. Consider them the Roomba for democracy.
Caught with his hand in the public's cookie jar.
Editorials: nowhere. Coverage: crickets…
Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
It never ceases to amaze me how the media freaks out over every Republican transgression, imagined or real, yet covers their ears and eyes so they can ignore clear Democrat malfeasance.
Gessler acts the way Colorado expects their politicians to: open, honest, and responsive to their will.
Morse acts more like he’s from Chicago.
activity was completely within the bounds of the law too. And when was the last time you saw any of the other legislators publicly disclose their per Diems for their part-time jobs?
On the other hand, Gessler’s full-time job is Secretary of State, and he should devote all of his attention to it. Kudos to him for being transparent, but he did the right thing by not moonlighting.
If he wasn’t working on leadership issues on the days he took per diem, then he acted illegally. He defrauded the people of Colorado.
How is he still in leadership?!?!?!!?
