"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."
Locals’ campaign reporting violations have yet to be billed

MONTROSE - Neither of two local political committees fined for
campaign-expenditure reporting violations has been issued a bill,
though the related attacks on a Montrose County commissioner occurred
in 2007 and 2008.
Citizens for Responsive Government and local
JetAway Aviation CEO Stephen Stuhmer were fined $6,500 in 2009 for
failing to report in a timely fashion their expenditures for attack ads
taken out a year earlier against former Montrose County Commissioner
Bill Patterson, who is now running for the Montrose City Council.
The Patterson Recall Committee, which failed in 2007 to recall Patterson from county office, was fined $9,700 in 2008 for failing to disclose all of its contributions and expenditures.
