Meeting of Citizens for Responsible Aurora Government

A local group called Citizens for Responsible Aurora Government has been working to be more informed about what is going on with the finances and other public issues.  This groups meets the 4th Wednesday of the month at the Doubletree Inn near I-225 and Iliff Avenue.

The group has been doing FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests and making information available.  They have prepared presentations for city council meetings using the council's filmed recordings and statements for later arguments.
