"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."

Judge Rules Commissioner Broke Election Finance Laws

Dems say the violations were inadvertent; GOP says earlier punishment would have put Rose in the commissioner seat.

April 13, 2009
An administrative law judge's ruling that Pueblo County Commissioner John Cordova's election campaign was fined more than $6,000 for two violations of state election finance laws is either the last battle of a hard-fought 2008 election - or the first volley in the 2012 race.

Debbie Rose, the Beulah Republican who narrowly lost to Cordova, filed the complaints in September and said a prompt investigation into the matter would have tipped the election her way. Rose held a narrow lead over Cordova until provisional ballots were counted after Election Day, which gave the Democrat a 1,000-vote margin of victory.
