A judge Monday ordered Denver Mayor Michael Hancock’s office to publicly disclose all but four pages of withheld emails about an advisory group formed to examine single-family housing rules.
The mayor’s office had invoked the deliberative process privilege in the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) to deny Florence Sebern’s request for documents concerning the Group Living Advisory Committee, and it had claimed the records were protected by attorney-client privilege.
But Denver District Court Judge Michael Vallejos, who examined the emails and attachments in private, determined that most do not reveal a “give and take” and, therefore, are not deliberative. While meetings about the committee and its formation “may have had plenty of robust deliberation, those were verbal and not reduced to writing or a transcript,” the judge wrote.

Mayor Mike Coffman said on Twitter on Monday that he s suspending any move toward a camping ban in Aurora until he s better able to understand the impact of such a ban.
Coffman said that Denver has a camping ban and a significant encampment problem while Aurora does not have a camping ban and only has a modest problem. I think the question that I have to answer is whether or not a camping ban actually aggravates the problem because there are so many requirements that a camping ban must meet in order to survive a court challenge, he said in the tweet.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) Protesters backing President Donald Trump massed outside statehouses from Georgia to New Mexico on Wednesday, leading some officials to evacuate while cheers rang out at several demonstrations as a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S.
CHEYENNE â A nonviolent protest Wednesday against the results of the 2020 presidential election led to police placing the State Capitol on lockdown as a precautionary measure.
Around 300 people protested in Cheyenne, a scene that played out around statehouses from Georgia to New Mexico, while thousands of Trump supporters gathered in Washington, D.C., some of them storming the nationâs Capitol, forcing lawmakers to shelter in place.
Protests took place Wednesday across the country as the U.S. House and Senate prepared to certify the Electoral College vote and make former Democratic Vice President Joe Bidenâs Nov. 3 election victory official. They hoisted signs that read âStop the stealâ and âFour more years,â and waved American flags, Confederate flags and âTrump 2020â banners. Most didnât wear masks amid the coronavirus pandemic, and in places including Oklahoma, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Washington state, some carried guns.
