Citizens, media representatives and nonprofit organizations asked legislative leaders Monday to repeal Colorado Open Meetings Law changes affecting the legislature that were adopted earlier this year.

And some groups said they may ask voters to approve constitutional changes to guarantee government transparency.

“Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition and other groups are looking at both legislative and initiative options, including an initiated constitutional amendment, to protect the public’s right to know,” said Jeff Roberts, executive director of CFOIC, told the Executive Committee of the Legislative Council. 

Monday’s objections ranged from closed legislative party caucus meetings to retention of legislative emails and text messages. Some also asked legislative leaders to begin livestreaming video of legislative committee meetings.
