"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 lucrative job lobbying for the same interests."

Ethics charge filed in race for Colorado House post

Rep. David Balmer hit with complaint, denies wrongdoing

What looked to be a routine race to lead state House Republicans has led to the filing of an ethics complaint against a lawmaker and a lobbyist facing the same fate.

Rep. David Balmer, of Centennial, and Rep. Frank McNulty, of Highlands Ranch, were supposed to square off Friday for the minority leader's slot. But the election was abruptly canceled Tuesday because of allegations of possible "outside influence" interfering with the process.

Balmer and McNulty have said they've done nothing wrong.
