"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."
Craig Holman, a government affairs expert at Public Citizen, commenting on Scott McInnis' voting record, as quoted in The Denver Post, 07/25/2010.

Ballot question remains in limbo, new complaints filed

By Charley Able, LakewoodEdge,

LAKEWOOD - A hearing officer’s ruling on the validity of petitions supporting a citizen-initiated ordinance that would require that police seize the vehicles of every unlicensed driver they stop failed to materialize Friday.

The ruling, expected from attorney John Hayes who heard a challenge to the petitions last week, will determine whether City Council convenes a special meeting Monday night to consider the proposal backed by thousands of signatures from Lakewood voters.

Lakewood resident Sigrid Higdon earlier this month challenged the petitions, which were approved by City Clerk Margy Greer before they were circulated. During last week’s hearing Greer said she approves the form, but not the content, of such petitions.
