Colorado Spotlight: The Ballad of Tina Peters

 

Join us for a western tale that has something for everyone: election crimes, campaign finance violation, ethics complaints, sentencing drama and even a Presidential pardon! This webinar will provide the background and continuing saga of former Colorado County Clerk Tina Peters. Moderated by COGEL Board Member Peg Perl, our discussion will feature current Mesa County Clerk Bobbie Gross and local journalist Marianne Goodland.

This presentation is for members only and questions will be taken through the Q&A feature.
