Secret meetings should be investigated

So, what happened to the new Code of Ethics for the Durango city council?

It didn’t take long for the two incumbent candidates for City Council to determine that the new code doesn’t apply to them. Secret meetings between councilors Sweetie Marbury and Dick White with the consultant hired to determine where the city sewer should be located is a definite breech of the code.

The opportunity to influence decisions on behalf of their cronies, without public exposure, could benefit the two councilors both financially and politically.

Were donations made to their campaigns if they secured a commitment to locate the sewer plant away from certain properties and businesses?

This ethics violation never was investigated by the Ethics Board. Something rotten is going on with all this.

Maybe White’s wife should be allowed back on that board, and Marbury and White should step down.
