Anwalt Scott Moss reichte die Beschwerde im Namen der Organisation Common Cause bei der unabh\u00e4ngigen Ethikkommission von Colorado ein.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIn der Beschwerde wird behauptet, dass die Abgeordneten Mitglieder des \u201eColorado Opportunity Caucus\u201c seien, der von einer wirtschaftsfreundlichen Organisation namens One Main Street gegr\u00fcndet, mit Personal besetzt und finanziert wurde.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201eVom Pr\u00e4sidenten bis hin zu den Abgeordneten des Bundesstaates zahlen die B\u00fcrger Colorados den Preis, wenn F\u00fchrungskr\u00e4fte die Interessen wohlhabender Lobbygruppen \u00fcber die Bed\u00fcrfnisse ihrer W\u00e4hler stellen\u201c, sagte er. <\/span>Aly Belknap, Gesch\u00e4ftsf\u00fchrerin von Colorado Common Cause<\/b>\u201eDie Abgeordneten m\u00fcssen dem Volk Rechenschaft schuldig sein, nicht undurchsichtigen Geldgebern, die sich heimlich ihre Gunst erkaufen. Die unabh\u00e4ngige Ethikkommission Colorados muss die Situation untersuchen und Abhilfe schaffen, um das Vertrauen in die Regierung zu erhalten.\u201c<\/span>\r\n\r\nDie Beschwerde liefert Beweise daf\u00fcr, dass die F\u00fchrungsriege des Opportunity Caucus One Main Street ausdr\u00fccklich aufforderte, die Hotelkosten ihrer Abgeordneten in H\u00f6he von 25.000 US-Dollar ($25.000) in dem Luxusresort in Vail zu \u00fcbernehmen. Dort hatte One Main Street einen geheimen \u201eGipfel\u201c organisiert, bei dem die Abgeordneten von Lobbyisten der Industrie beeinflusst werden sollten. Diese Transaktion scheint einen eklatanten Versto\u00df gegen das im Staatsverfassungsgesetz verankerte Verbot von Geschenken darzustellen, f\u00fcr das sich Common Cause eingesetzt hatte und das die W\u00e4hler Colorados vor fast zwei Jahrzehnten mit \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigender Mehrheit bef\u00fcrworteten.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201eDiese Beschwerden verdeutlichen die Machenschaften des Opportunity Caucus im Verborgenen, die auf Einflussnahme abzielten und darauf hofften, dass es keine Organisation wie Common Cause geben w\u00fcrde, die dies aufdeckt.\u201c <\/span>sagte Anwalt Scott Moss<\/b>\u201eBei diesem \u201aOpportunity Caucus\u2018 geht es scheinbar weniger darum, den Abgeordneten Raum f\u00fcr echte interne Beratungen zu geben, sondern vielmehr darum, Lobbyisten die M\u00f6glichkeit zu bieten, ungeb\u00fchrlichen Einfluss auszu\u00fcben.\u201c<\/span>\r\n\r\nUm die Beschwerden einzusehen, <\/span>klicken Sie
