Denver seeks to move $18.8 million from general fund to cover legal settlements

Denver City Council is considering transferring $18.8 million from the general fund to the City Attorney's Liability Claims Fund to cover legal settlements, including those related to police misconduct during the George Floyd protests in 2020. Councilwoman Shontel Lewis and civil rights attorney David Lane criticize the system for shifting costs to taxpayers and failing to hold agencies accountable, with Lewis noting $34 million has been moved to the fund since 2023.
