An order of dismissal was filed Tuesday, following an investigation by the Enforcement Team with the Elections Division of the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. Investigators found that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to support the complaint’s allegations.
“In this case, Respondents , hosted a fundraising event at the Resort and reported a $437.50 expenditure for the food and beverage consumed at the Event. Respondents provided ample evidence to verify the actual amount charged by the Resort for the Event,” the dismissal order said. “There is no evidence that Respondents incurred expenses in hosting the Event that were not reported on the campaign’s expenditure report.
The event, scheduled for 45 minutes, was attended by about 30 people and included bar service for beer, bottled water, and individual pretzel snack bags, the dismissal order said. “The Resort charged Respondents $437.50 for the food and beverage consumed at the Event.”
