Montrose City Council puts election questions to bed with statement of confidence; Mayor Badagliacco drops calls for investigation, says council looking out for 'sanity of community'

Last week, it seemed as if the Montrose City Council was slipping off the rails. Mayor Michael J. Badagliacco was pushing for an independent investigation into what he viewed as issues with the municipal election process in April and city staff was dug into a defensive posture, elbows out in a meltdown of a meeting.

But upon exiting from a closed-door executive session last Wednesday, council appears to have come to some form of consensus: the election process was square, but perhaps could be improved upon. In a statement released Monday, the city council made clear all members were confident in the results of the April elections and also outlined a number of items to be looked at going forward.

Following the statement’s release, Badagliacco told the Montrose Daily Press that it was important that council reach such a resolution for “the sanity of the community.”

“That’s where we landed for the sake of the community,” he said. “So we’re not ripping this community apart.”

SCOTUS ruling not expected to affect Montrose elections this year; Postal Service mail-ballot rule faces fresh challenges

A United States Supreme Court procedural ruling against Colorado and several other states that challenged an executive order pertaining to voting is not expected to affect mail-in ballots in Montrose County this election — for now — as fresh lawsuits have hit the courts.

“We are business as usual through this election,” Montrose County Clerk and Recorder Tressa Guynes said on Wednesday.

‘I may not be the best pick, but I'm the pick’: Gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx encourages Republicans to fall in line at Montrose campaign stop

After winning the GOP primary by just a couple thousand votes, Republican gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx is urging right-wing voters to rally behind him — or else, have their way of life destroyed by socialists.

“We’re here to take our state back,” the candidate said at a Montrose campaign stop Saturday, also telling attendees, “I may not be in your first pick. I may not be the best pick, but I'm the pick.”

At the local campaign stop Aug. 22, Marx and a handful of Republican candidates and politicians sent a clear message that they were under attack, and whatever voters thought about the close primary, it’s time to fall in line.
