Colorado Governor Jared Polis fired two members of his clemency advisory board for publicly opposing his decision to free election denier Tina Peters. The move raises accountability concerns.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis fired two members of his clemency advisory board because they publicly opposed his decision to free Tina Peters, an election denier convicted of crimes related to voting system security. The board members spoke out against the decision, and Polis fired them for it.
Clemency boards are supposed to give independent advice. If people who give that advice can be fired for disagreeing with the governor, they're not independent—they're just staff who have to agree. Firing board members for their views on a specific clemency decision suggests the governor wanted a board that wouldn't challenge him, not one that would provide honest counsel.
