Re: “Colorado public defender should be subject to open records laws,” Feb. 14 editorial.
If the Colorado State Public Defender’s office keeps its spending records correctly, then it has no reason to hide. The office is funded by government funds, which is taxpayer money, and should be under the same scrutiny as the state prosecutor’s office, which was just audited. If this is allowed to continue, which government office will be next to claim the same rules as the public defender’s office?
