COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (CBS4) – Brian McBroom, the city manager for Commerce City since 2012, resigned in June, a month after filing a legal notice with the city that he might sue his city over the actions of Mayor Benjamin Huseman. McBroom claims Huseman defamed, slandered him, badmouthed him around the city and acted unprofessionally.

The notice of intent to sue was filed May 26, 2020 when McBroom was still the city manager. He claimed Huseman had engaged in a five month campaign to “oust Mr. McBroom from the City of Commerce City,” according to the notice.
