Denver City Councilman Chris Hinds couldn’t maneuver his wheelchair onto the stage at the Cleo Parker Robinson dance school Monday afternoon. The venue didn’t have a ramp for him. But if Hinds didn’t participate in the debate for the city’s District 10 council seat, he said he’d have to forfeit about $125,000 in campaign financing from Denver’s Fair Elections Fund. “It was a choice between my campaign’s viability or my dignity,” Hinds told The Denver Post. So the councilman said he had to climb out of his wheelchair and crawl onto the stage in front of the debate crowd of several dozen people.
