Highlands Ranch Herald: State Rep. Bob Marshall says he was singled out politically in a lawsuit in which a judge recently ruled that lawmakers’ reliance on anonymous surveys to determine budget priorities is illegal. The judge found last week that the practice runs counter to the Colorado Open Meetings Law. 

But Marshall, a Democrat who represents Highlands Ranch, said he should not have been named in the suit. He called his inclusion in it a political “hit job” because of his involvement in fighting for more transparency at the state Capitol. 

The suit was brought by the nonprofit Public Trust Initiative and Highlands Ranch resident David Fornof and centered around what’s called “quadratic voting,” which lawmakers used to determine which budget bills should go forward.
