Councilwoman Lawson’s dual role as state worker, elected official debated at ethics commission

Rachel Sapin (Aurora Sentinel)- Less than a month after being sworn in, At-Large City Councilwoman Angela Lawson’s electoral win has spurred discussion over state ethics laws.

While Lawson is not accused of doing anything to run afoul of city or state ethics laws, her dual role as a state employee and elected official caused the state’s independent commission on ethics to take a closer look at how to handle which set of rules anyone in that position would abide by.
