Douglas County News-Press: During a lengthy, and at times tense, court proceeding in late April, Douglas County District Court Judge Robert Lung heard from both parties in the Concerned Citizens of Douglas County v. Board of County Commissioners for Douglas County lawsuit. 

The hearing came about a week after Rep. Bob Marshall, D-Highlands Ranch, along with former Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas and Lone Tree resident Julie Gooden, filed a lawsuit against the current county commissioners for allegedly violating Colorado’s Open Meetings Law through a series of non-public meetings since December 2024.

The lawsuit claims that the board discussed public matters, such as home rule, behind closed doors and without public notice.
