GOV. RITTER STATEMENT ON D.A. CHAMBERS' INVESTIGATION OF CAMPAIGN/INAUGURAL FINANCE ISSUES

 

Gov. Bill Ritter issued the following statement today in response to 18th Judicial District Attorney Carol Chambers' decision regarding the investigation into Ritter campaign/inaugural finance issues and Mr. Greg Kolomitz:

 

"We were open and transparent with the public and appropriate authorities when we discovered these problems. We cooperated fully with the 18th Judicial District DA's Office during its investigation. Prior to the investigation, Mr. Kolomitz made full restitution by repaying both the inaugural and campaign accounts. We thank the DA's Office for its attention to the matter and we now consider this part of the matter closed."
