Boulder Reporting Lab: A special counsel has found that Councilmember Taishya Adams did not violate the City of Boulder’s code of conduct when she blocked several residents from her Instagram account and limited access to her book group.

The investigation, led by Fort Collins Deputy City Attorney Stefanie Boster, concluded that Adams did not break the rules because her social media activity and book group were not conducted in her official capacity as a city councilmember. Boster also said city policy allows councilmembers to engage in advocacy on a range of issues. 

“The Code of Conduct allows a Councilmember to advocate, as a Councilmember, on any topic, including political candidates and ballot measures,” the report states.
