Denver Direct: Denver City Council Discovers It’s a Rubber Stamp, Continues Stamping

At last night’s City Council meeting, the Council seemed to “discover” that 75% of the contracts that come before it for approval have already been started without their approval. In this particular case, the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless asked for a 9-month extension of their contract, which actually started last April. Councilman Brown calls this “beyond sloppiness” and likened the Council to Rodney Dangerfield. The Council approved the contract anyway. So much for respect.
