[quote]Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Hickenlooper has been held in contempt by the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission after he didn't appear Thursday at a mandatory hearing, defying orders to do so as the panel considers a Republican complaint that private plane trips he took while governor of Colorado violated the state's gift ban.

Another hearing will be held Friday morning in Hickenlooper's absence to discuss possible sanctions. The committee vote to hold Hickenlooper was a unanimous 5-0, according to KDVR reporter Michael Konopasek.

The development could shift Hickenlooper's fortunes: it comes as polls show Hickenlooper as a favorite to defeat incumbent Republican Sen. Cory Gardner.

Hickenlooper was also subpoenaed by the commission to appear but argued the hearing's remote format violates his right to face his accusers in person.

The Public Trust Institute, a conservative group that filed the complaint, also said it preferred an in-person hearing.

The commission had asked Hickenlooper to suggest some dates, and he proposed in-person hearings be held in August — long after his June 30 Democratic primary against former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff. The winner will challenge Gardner in the November election.[/quote]
