Colorado Education Ass'n v. Rutt

I. Introduction

We granted certiorari in Rutt v. Poudre Education Ass'n, 151 P.3d 585 (Colo.App.2006), to determine whether the court of appeals correctly reversed the administrative law judge's decision to dismiss Wayne Rutt and Paul Marrick's (collectively, "Rutt") complaint against the Colorado Education Association and Poudre Education Association based on the court of appeals' conclusion that the unions coordinated campaign activities with Bob Bacon's campaign for state senate, and thus made illegal contributions to the campaign in violation of article XXVIII of the Colorado Constitution.1
