City Drops Request for Gag Ordernew
Faced with a challenge from the ACLU,
the City of Colorado Springs cancels a
hearing on its request for an
injunction against the
Colorado Springs Independent and
drops all charges against the paper. The
city was trying to
block the paper from publishing any
information from Detective Jeffrey
Huddleston's personnel file. By mistake,
the detective's entire file was given to
Editor Cara Degette and
reporter John Dicker, who were
working on an investigative piece. When
the mistake was discovered, the City
demanded that Dicker turn over the
notes he'd been taking.
