The Durango Herald: The 6th Judicial District Court on Wednesday ruled that a former Durango Financial Advisory Board member violated the Colorado Open Records Act when he withheld emails sought in a records request.

The city was seeking emails between former FAB member John Simpson and then Councilor Olivier Bosmans to fulfill a November 2023 records request filed by The Durango Herald.

Sixth Judicial District Judge Suzanne Carlson ruled Simpson violated CORA by withholding two emails between himself and Bosmans. But she also ruled another component of the city’s complaint doesn’t violate CORA.
