Loveland Reporter-Herald: An 8th Judicial District Court judge ruled Tuesday morning that the city of Loveland did not act in good faith in filing a petition in early March regarding Mayor Jacki Marsh’s CORA request into messages between Mayor Pro Tem Don Overcash and a city employee.

Because of this, Judge Juan Villaseñor ruled, the city will have to pay costs and attorneys’ fees for the time it has spent in the courtroom, just a fraction of what Marsh’s attorney Troy Krenning was hoping for going into Tuesday’s hearing.

Villaseñor also commented on “corruption” issues he saw in the city’s handling of this situation, comparing it to cases regarding banana republics in the early 1900s.
