[edit] House ethics panel pressures Balmer on records
"The House Ethics Committee on Tuesday once again asked Rep. David Balmer to provide records of phone calls and e-mail messages that could help the committee determine whether he broke House rules while he was running for the House minority leader’s seat last December.
The committee is looking into whether Balmer, R-Centennial, asked a lobbyist for the Colorado Chiropractors Association to pressure freshman Rep. Cindy Acree, R-Aurora, to support the lawmaker in his bid to become the House Republicans’ leader.
Balmer did not respond to the committee’s requests, but his attorney, Jonathan Anderson, sent legal analysis concluding that his client did nothing wrong and a letter in which he declined to give his home phone records, citing privacy concerns."
