Brianna Titone, who serves Colorado&#8217;s 27th congressional district, says she discovered $36 million in an obscure OIT account, and that managers have refused to say why they were sitting on the money.<\/p>\n<p>Titone is also concerned about a new <span class=\"link\">audit of OIT<\/span> that identified serious deficiencies in the state&#8217;s cybersecurity protocols.<\/p>\n<p>She submitted an open records request but says OIT is stonewalling her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If there&#8217;s something more nefarious going on that may be beyond what seems to be incompetence or just really bad leadership, I don&#8217;t know, but whatever it is, we need to get to the bottom of it,&#8221; said Titone.<\/p>\n<p>OIT says Titone made the open records request as a private citizen.<\/p>\n<p>It says, &#8220;As required by law, our response was consistent with any other request from a private individual. We provided responsive documents, asked for more clarification where more details were needed to produce responsive documents, and provided a staff time and cost estimate for items that needed additional research.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Titone says she is now working on a bill to strengthen lawmakers&#8217; subpoena power and enforcement mechanisms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/colorado\/news\/colorado-lawmaker-claims-cybersecurity-office-withholding-information\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State lawmaker says Colorado Cybersecurity Office is withholding information https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/colorado\/news\/colorado-lawmaker-claims-cybersecurity-office-withholding-information\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-28 14:02:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":228612,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/28\/d65ebbed-c995-442c-8bfc-7f0f364ba19d\/thumbnail\/1200x630\/063eddfe59ce0f785817bd40048943a5\/oit-bill-10vo-frame-84.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-228611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228611"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228611"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228611\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":228613,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228611\/revisions\/228613"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
