"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."
Leigh resigns from Memorial panel over possible conflict
By Daniel Chacon, The Colorado Springs Gazette,

Colorado Springs businessman and mayoral candidate Tim Leigh, who was selected outright to serve on the new Citizens Commission on Ownership and Governance of Memorial Health System, has resigned from the panel amid revelations that his wife works at Memorial.
Leigh, whose wife, Lise, is a registered nurse who works part-time at Memorial’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, was asked to resign Friday by Mayor Lionel Rivera and Councilman Darryl Glenn.
“We discussed the important work that the commission is tasked with; and that there can be ‘no hint’ of a conflict of interest,” Leigh said in a resignation letter sent Sunday via e-mail.
