The state Supreme Court has given its blessing to an investigation into the Colorado Judicial Department, weeks after reports emerged of a multimillion dollar contract being authorized for a former employee in order to conceal allegations of misconduct.
âWeâre disappointed and absolutely heartbroken by this situation, and nobody wants these investigations to go forward more than I do,â said Chief Justice Brian D. Boatright.
Representatives from the governor s office, attorney general s office and General Assembly will select the panel of independent investigators. Boatright indicated he would comment further on the process in the State of the Judiciary speech this Thursday.

ABERDEEN, Miss. (WTVA) - Three Aberdeen aldermen received a letter demanding that they pay $9,056.09 to the Office of the State Auditor.
The letters from the State Auditor accused Lady Garth, Edward Haynes, Jr. and Nicholas Holliday of misappropriation of city funds.
The payment stems from retroactive salary payments, made to then-Mayor Maurice Howard in August and September of 2020.
