Valley Courier: In a Dec. 14 conversation with Alamosa city attorney Erich Schwiesow regarding the Nov. 22 breach of an executive session by an unknown, unauthorized person, Schwiesow expressed doubt that the individual would be identified due to the number of people who had access to Zoom, which was used to tape the meeting.

Schwiesow was then asked if the action constituted a crime.

“I don’t know,” Schwiesow said. “It does me no good [to find the answer to that question] if we can’t find out who did it.”

Following that conversation, the Valley Courier researched the answer and learned that a Colorado Revised Statute does exist that identifies that behavior as a crime titled “Official Misconduct.” The crime specifically applies to people who are public employees.
