Denver Dems Boxing Match

• by: Colorado Pols

For further proof that local party politics is often sillier than it is productive, here’s a fun tidbit:

The ongoing feud within the ranks of the Denver Democrats has risen to new levels in the last week or so. Denver Democratic Party Chair Sharron Klein and Treasure Barbara Groves battled it out in a meeting a week or so ago when Groves accused Klein of keeping two sets of books for the bingo operations that the party runs weekly.

Klein, in turn, accuses Groves of being a puppet for her archenemy, Denver Auditor Dennis Gallagher. Efforts to have Klein and Groves agree to mediation failed, and tensions were high at the Denver Democrats’ annual dinner last Saturday with further accusations being thrown about.
