A volunteer panel charged with creating a memorial for Colorado soldiers killed in the war on terrorism has met just once since it was founded nearly two years agoand its chairman apparently is missing.
Lawmakers want the chairman, former state Rep. Rafael Gallegos, to resign, but they can’t find him. Gallegos, a Democrat from Antonito, hasn’t responded to calls or messages. He lost a primary in August.
Legislators crafted a bill creating a memorial commission in 2007. Gov. Bill Ritter signed it into law on Memorial Day weekend that year. The panel was to raise funds and select a design for a memorial in a park near the state Capitol.
