Dear Editor:
The members of Colorado Union of Taxpayers have been watching with dismay Aspen's escalating battle against election transparency.
We were disappointed enough when you denied public access to Aspen election ballots after your promises before the 2009 election that all citizens could see the ballots and “count them for themselves.” The Court of Appeals decision affirmed what we have always known — ballots, the most fundamental tool of our democracy, are of course open public records. Secretary of State Scott Gessler has reconfirmed to election officials across the state that they should abide by the court's decision. We are doubly dismayed to hear that the council has approved the appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court..."

Impeachable grounds exist when the leaders of that gang of bullies are elected public officials.
