flag Sixteen Colorado Democrats face ethics probe for allegedly violating gift rules at a funded Vail retreat.

flag Sixteen Democratic Colorado lawmakers are under ethics investigation for a October retreat in Vail, allegedly violating the state’s gift ban by accepting funded travel. flag The Opportunity Caucus, which they lead, says the event was paid for using pre-existing funds, though a $25,000 donation from the undisclosed donor nonprofit One Main Street helped cover lodging. flag Critics argue the nonprofit’s lack of transparency raises concerns about compliance with rules limiting gifts from entities with significant for-profit funding. flag The Independent Ethics Commission launched a probe after a complaint from Colorado Common Cause, but lawmakers maintain they followed the law and deny wrongdoing, calling the investigation politically motivated. flag The case remains under review.
