A judge has ruled that he cannot appoint someone else to run embattled Adams County Treasurer Lisa Culpepper’s department amid allegations that she mismanaged tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer money.
A judge has ruled that he cannot appoint someone else to run embattled Adams County Treasurer Lisa Culpepper’s department amid allegations that she mismanaged tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer money, stating that he “lacks the authority” to strip that power from an elected official.
“The Court simply found that giving the commissioners what they demanded — a receiver to replace the treasurer — violated the Colorado Constitution,” Culpepper’s attorney, J.

McGill said his client believes the Adams County commissioners sued her last fall “to remove her as an obstacle and intimidate any future treasurer into going along with their unconstitutional aggrandizement of their own power at the expense of an independent treasurer.”
