The Gazette: In the lead-up to the resignation of Palmer Lake Mayor Glant Havenar on Thursday, the Tri-Lakes area has been experiencing a social media firestorm over texts allegedly leaked in a Signal group chat. 

The texts, posted as screenshots by former Colorado state Republican Party Chair candidate and Monument resident Darcy Schoening, appear to show Havenar making derogatory comments about multiple Palmer Lake and Monument residents and elected officials. 

A lawsuit supplemental filed Monday by political nonprofit Integrity Matters along with other nonprofits and individuals claims the texts show unethical behavior on the part of the now-former mayor — namely collusion with Buc-ee’s developers.
