The Pueblo Chieftain: Pueblo City Council violated Colorado open meeting law on May 13 when it inadequately announced a closed-door discussion with the city’s lawyer. That’s according to Steve Zansberg, a Colorado attorney with expertise in the First Amendment and Colorado Sunshine Law.

Councilors filed into a private room shortly before 7 p.m. amid spirited discussions about banning syringe exchange programs in Pueblo. The growing crowd in council chambers waited over half an hour for the seven officials to re-emerge.

The work session agenda and Council President Mark Aliff’s announcement stated that council would seek legal advice on “specific legal questions” in an executive session but did not specify the topic.
