Questions continue over police chief hiring

When Boulder Chief of Police Joe Canzona was hired in late June, he did not meet the strict requirements of Montana law. That much is clear.

But the more questions the Monitor asks about the situation, the muddier it all becomes.

The Monitor submitted a letter to the city on July 5 asking for verification that Canzona met the legal hiring requirements. On more than one occasion in public meetings, Boulder Mayor Rusty Giulio said Canzona did meet the requirements, and the Monitor asked for verification.
