The Denver Gazette: An early April meeting by all three Douglas County commissioners and staffers to discuss home rule raised questions about whether the local officials violated Colorado’s open meetings law.

The county insisted the commissioners took part in an open meeting that the hosting group labeled a “private meeting” — and they didn’t violate any laws.

First reported by Colorado Community Media, all three Douglas County commissioners, plus some staff members, attended an event on April 2 organized by the Parker Conservatives. They allegedly discussed efforts to become a home rule county.
