"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 panel wraps up confidential Rivera investigation

By Daniel Chacon, The Colorado Springs Gazette,
August 3, 2009

The city’s ethics commission has completed its investigation of Mayor Lionel Rivera, who has been under fire for negotiating a contract awarded to one of his former clients.

And despite calls for more transparency, the findings of the investigation will be confidential and shared only with the City Council.

The two members of the three-member Independent Ethics Commission who have been investigating the conflict-of-interest allegations against Rivera plan to hold a public meeting this week, possibly Wednesday, Commissioner Mal Wakin said Monday.
