Op/ed from 2 members of Gov. Jared Polis’s Clemency Board: "Tina Peters was recommended for denial. Our board voted no. Twice. Unanimously. The governor granted her clemency anyway."

To release Tina Peters, Polis ignored our board’s unanimous recommendation for denial (Opinion)
The problem is not Tina Peters’ case in isolation. It is what Gov. Polis’s decision reveals: that the system bends for some and holds firm against everyone else.
