Castle Rock News-Press: Castle Rock Town Council is preparing to ban people from making public comments remotely, citing concerns about online hate speech during meetings.

With a majority support for the change, the council voted on Tuesday night to remove remote public comments from future meetings, meaning members of the public will have to appear in person if they want to speak during public comment sessions. 

Council members said they supported the change after online users with anonymous identities signed up and barraged council meetings, including in Wheat Ridge and Lakewood, with anti-Semitic speech.
