Council to consider closed-door interviews for Memorial commission

By Daniel Chacon, The Colorado Springs Gazette,

Two of the nine council members said Wednesday they will vote against conducting the interviews in secret.

“I told the mayor I don’t think it should even be an option,” said Councilman Sean Paige, who said in January that there’s a public perception that council members appoint what he called their “pet people” to boards and commissions to give them the recommendations they want.
