The Denver Gazette: Colorado’s judicial discipline commission on Friday told legislators it is actively investigating more than 70 cases, in which judges allegedly violated state law by not filing personal financial disclosure documents for public review.

The commission told a joint hearing of the House and Senate judiciary committees those investigations — 73 of them — were a large part of a nearly 40% increase in the number of cases brought before it.

The commission received 345 requests for investigation in 2023, up from 249 the year before.
