From The Gazette:  The City of Colorado Springs may have violated the Colorado Open Records Act law when it did not provide all of the email correspondence The Gazette requested related to the city council’s fired legislative assistant.

In January, Mayor Steve Bach fired the City Council’s newly hired legislative assistant George Culpepper. At the time, the city wasn’t saying much about the issue because it was “a personnel issue.”

On Jan. 10, 2014, The Gazette filed a Colorado Open Records Act request seeking “all emails sent from Dec. 18, 2013 to present day to and from Mayor Steve Bach, all city council members, Keith King, George Culpepper, Laura Neumann, Mike Sullivan, Alaska Airline and Dan Gallagher regarding George Culpepper; and questions to Colorado Springs Airport officials/Alaska Airlines related to potential legislative policy by Colorado Springs City Council.”

The Gazette received more than 300 pages of emails. There were multiple copies of most emails.
