"DENVER, Colo. (AP) - Attorney General John Suthers found the letter by Dan Hartman, director of the State Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division, didn't violate a ban on public officials' using public resources to take sides in elections, Suthers spokesman Mike Saccone said Friday.
But Suthers did determine the letter was "unethical," Saccone said...."

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Silt trying to get $1.8M to upgrade town water system"
Does SandBox Nanny 'have it in' for John Colson?
Absolutely not.
Does John Colson deliberately poke, prod, antagonize and otherwise borderline abuse his power as a local investigative reporter?
Absolutely.
Has he done so for years?
Pretty much.
John Colson is often seen by locals as a 'radical liberal'. A 'moonbat'. A 'left loon'. All proudly carried by John titles in his weekly column "Hit and Run", up on The Aspen Times.
The question SandBox Nanny has for Colson today on this article, is related to how obvious it is that he's struggling with having to put out 'clean' and 'no yellow ink' reports.
Yesterday the hit on the Town of Silt was angst at the lack of childcare for the Silt anti-gas group.
Today, Colson seems to imply that the Town of Silt should go round up money it does not have, and do a capital improvement on the water system because of a couple of fairly unsubstantiated water quality issues over the past two years.
If Nanny recalls correctly, the issues had something to do with illegal sewage dumping by a local company.
Here's the question for John Colson:
Is there anything the general public can do, to help you ease into some kind of comfort level with your new role of community oriented reporting?
We'll be glad to help.
just sayin.
SandBox Nanny sends out another big thank you to Silt Mayor Dave Moore and his administration.
For holding the line on not spending more than what comes in.
For still managing, within the first balanced budget in many a year; to keep Silt not only thriving but growing.
For being creative in finding this terrific grant money that will take the burden off the backs of the folks out here paying taxes.
Keep up the great work.

SandBox Comments: Colorado Springs Independent "Stranger than fiction"
Curses, foiled again
"Stephen Frankie Daniel, 21, was caught robbing a gas station convenience store in Snellville, Ga., by police Lt. B.W. Brown, who happened to be waiting in line behind him. "The manager was laughing at the time he was putting the money in the bag because he was looking at me over the guy who was robbing him," Brown said, noting that Daniel apparently didn't notice Brown's uniform or the plainly marked Snellville Police Department pick-up truck parked outside the store.
(Atlanta Journal Constitution)
"Michael Wayne Aurillo, 27, stole a charity collection jar containing $35.78 from the counter of a convenience store in Williston, Fla., only to be arrested before he could make off with the loot because off-duty Marion County sheriff's Sgt. William Dietrich was standing behind him. (The Gainesville Sun)"
Drinking-class hero
"A 21-year-old man walked into what he believed to be a casino and asked for some blackjack chips. It was actually the University of Nebraska-Lincoln police station. Sgt. John Backer said the desk clerk turned the man away, but he returned a few minutes later. This time, officers administered a Breathalyzer test. The unidentified man blew .273 — more than four times the legal limit — and was placed in protective custody. (Hasting's KHAS-TV)"
