The Denver Post: The Aurora City Council voted this week to meet virtually and to do away with public comment sessions until the suburban city resolves a lawsuit filed recently by the family of a Black man fatally shot by Aurora police.
The decision, made during a virtual meeting of the council on Monday, was the latest narrowing of public participation in the crafting of city business in Aurora as council members have faced repeated protests related to the shooting.
The move follows the council’s decision last month to limit speakers at the lectern to one at a time, with exceptions for children, those needing interpretive help and people with physical disabilities.
