	CSIndy: 'Are you ready for me?' (May 8, 2003)
		Rivera: Two things: Integrity in office -- that you are true to your principles and your values, and you do what you think is right.
		Rivera: It's hard to say how people will interpret what a vote is. But if they talk to the members who made the vote, and ask them their reasons why, it has nothing to do with homophobia or being anti-gay or gay bashing, as a lot of the popular press wants to portray it.
		Rivera: [City Manager] Lorne Kramer came to me late last summer and said, "I'm thinking of making [this] recommendation to the City Council." My comments to him were that I don't think that's a good idea, I don't support it, I don't think it's the right thing to do with taxpayer funds.

	Western Skies - Army Mental Health - October 11, 2005
		RIVERA: The primary reason I didn't get behind this proclamation is I'll read you one of the whereas', and I did spend, I don't know if it was seven hours, but I spent a lot of time on the internet, trying to find out a little bit more about PTSD.
		RIVERA: I'm not in the habit of jumping on a bandwagon that wants to criticize the war and why we went to war and the reasons for war and then criticize the Army for the programs that they have.
		RIVERA: Well, like I explained to Steve Robinson before, when I read his proclamation on Tuesday before the Friday that they were holding the press conference, I couldn't verify the information that was in the proclamation.

		On Thursday, Colorado Springs Mayor Lionel Rivera, a Republican, joined the region’s only Statehouse Democrat, Rep. Michael Merrifield, D-Manitou Springs, in dishing up barbecue at Monument Valley Park while urging voters to support the two measures on the Nov. 1 ballot.

		“Lionel is running the risk that he’ll antagonize the antitax vote in an anti-tax county that is particularly powerful,” said Bob Loevy, a political science professor at Colorado College.

		Rivera's remarks were part of an apology he had made to Steve Robinson and Georg-Andreas (Andrew) Pogany, organizers of Operation Just One, a group assisting veterans and soldiers with free mental health care.
		An analysis, comparing Rivera's statements published in news reports, transcripts from the October 11 City Council meeting, and statements in his apology shows that his apology is a sham.
		Rivera is still critical of their methods, an aspect of which is to criticize the Army in it's handling of mental health problems among combat soldiers.
