DENVER – Rep. Joe Stengel, R-Littleton, resigned his seat Tuesday to avoid the lobbying prohibition included in Amendment 41, joining two other recent resignations.
“The provisions of 41 are so unclear that for me and my future it was the prudent thing to do,” Stengel said. Stengel joined Sen. Dan Grossman, D-Denver, who resigned Friday, and Sen. Ron Teck, R-Grand Junction, whose departure takes effect Dec. 15.
Backers of the amendment, which bars lawmakers from lobbying for two years after they leave office, said it doesn’t apply to Stengel and the others.
