Boulder official facing complaint for allegedly blocking residents on Instagram, from book club
By John Herrick | Boulder Reporting Lab
Two Boulder residents have filed a code of conduct complaint against Councilmember Taishya Adams, alleging she blocked one of them on Instagram and barred the other from a book club she organized as a public official.
The complaint, filed on Feb. 5, alleges Adams discriminated against a Jewish resident after she blocked him from her Instagram account, which she uses to communicate her work on the Boulder City Council. It also alleges she restricted access to a book group that was “publicly sponsored in her capacity as a councilwoman,” misused her personal Instagram account for city business, and then blocked several other Jewish residents not named in the complaint.
