Cañon City councilwoman avoids censure for Facebook posts made after Charlie Kirk’s death

The Colorado Sun: In the end, there was little discussion and no vote about a proposed censure of Councilwoman Emily Tracy over a Facebook post she made in the wake of the shooting death of activist Charlie Kirk.

Instead, the council enacted a policy for council members that provides rules for how they use private social media accounts other than emails or text messaging. 

The new policy, adopted Monday on a 6-0 vote, requires council members to refrain from identifying themselves as a Cañon City elected official or to include a “clear and conspicuous disclaimer in the same place where you identify yourself as an elected official that states: The views expressed on this account are my own and do not reflect the official position of the City of Cañon City.”
