Justice Center Here's an article about fundraising and other issues around the new justice center from the Rocky Mountain News [June 3, 2005, "Justice center blitz set record"]. From the article, "Backers of Denver's justice center raised a record $685,000 in campaign contributions to win voter support last month, according to post-election campaign finance reports filed Thursday. Justice center opponents raised $1,265 during their campaign and collected in-kind contributions worth $76,000...Since the election, justice center opponents have filed two complaints with the Denver Election Commission. Denver Voters for Responsible Spending, a coalition of civil rights and government watchdog groups, is seeking an investigation into the amount of city resources that may have been 'inappropriately' spent to persuade voters to approve the project. Opponents are also seeking an investigation into a separate campaign committee they say proponents formed to promote the jail, but failed to disclose."
