Why Pueblo’s mayor allowed a lobbyist to write an opinion for her (and may do so again)

The Pueblo Chieftain: Pueblo Mayor Heather Graham recently submitted similar opinion pieces to two Colorado newspapers — the Pueblo Chieftain and the Denver Post — but she didn’t write them herself.

A Colorado lobbyist working for Evraz, the company that owns Pueblo’s storied steel mill and is one of the city’s largest employers, penned the op-ed as part of an advocacy push to defeat some bills introduced at the Colorado Legislature that business leaders said could hurt Pueblo.

First reported by the Colorado Times Recorder, the Chieftain verified through an open records request that the op-eds were written by a representative for Evraz.
