Illegal Alien Invading Denver

[Eric P]

So with the ongoing invasion, the dis-honorable governor Polis has decided to issue the following:

Essentially using scarce state resources and allowing state employees to be paid while "volunteering"

Dear State Employees,

I want to extend my gratitude to the dozens of State employees who offered their time and energy to assist fellow Coloradans at emergency and migrant shelters last week. These acts of kindness provide critical support to those in need and show the strength of our great state.

In order to continue the spirit of community and giving this new year, I am extending the offer of administrative leave to employees who take time to volunteer at the migrant shelters in place in Denver.

State agencies are directed to extend the offer of administrative leave to employees who take the time to volunteer through 11:00 p.m. Friday, Jan. 20, 2022. An additional 16 hours of administrative leave is being offered, for a total of 32 hours between Dec. 20th and Jan. 20th. Administrative leave is subject to approval by supervisors and appointing authorities prior to leave being taken or volunteer commitment made.

You are encouraged to volunteer over the days and weeks ahead at ongoing migrant operations by signing up to volunteer at the shelters in Denver. State staff can sign up for volunteer shift assignments using this Denver Emergency Shelter Workers form. This form is for all government affiliated volunteers. Here are directions on completing the form as a State employee:

Once you click on the link, select a shift that works for you. That will take you to a form that you must complete.
When asked to input Department or External Agency (IE: DEN, DHS, HOST, etc) since you are a state employee please enter your jurisdiction and agency under the Department.
Please leave blank the question on providing Denver County email.
Make sure to input your email at the top of the form to receive follow up communication.
After you select a shift, a coordinator will email you with further details. They will also tell you what to bring to your shift.
Thank you for your continued dedication as a State employee and for providing care and hope in our communities. Wishing you a Happy New Year and valued time with your family and friends this holiday season.

Sincerely,
Governor Jared Polis

Why isn?t there a sense of urgency with the homeless American Citizens In the state??

What a fucking cocksucking faggot.

This state is a fucking joke of what it used to be.
It used to be state employment was an honorable vocation.

Really curious about some legalities on this one- encouraging and utilizing state employees and state resources to “care” for people violating Federal law.

I'm a state employee and we're very short staffed and can't afford to have people taking time off for this.

We already get punished for taking our accrued PTO, and they want to give us more for volunteering? Crazy.

The irony of this is. Or was. The State employee handbook. SPECIFICALLY forbids ANYTHING political at work. As i was leaving work one friday, the director asked if i was going to the Barack Obama rally at csu, that weekend. I asked him if that was an invite, or request. Since the Employee Handbook AND... CSU's policy was to avoid politics on campus, during work hours. He said nothing in reply , just standing there .


Yeah i don't see that happening they way they planned. Till the volunteer thing, becomes a request.

Seems to me the State has a budget surplus of about 32 hours per employee.

He did the same thing in July, encouraging employees to volunteer for fire fighting duty.

Firefighting is not aiding criminals, as BP correctly points out. However, are they actually criminals since Denver declared itself a "sanctuary city"?

Very muddy legal waters that will likely never be resolved since the Democrats are in control the state. Any questions or opposition are quickly buried.

EricP- Where did you get this copy of the letter?

FWIW:
I found this in a quick google search:

DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL AND ADMINISTRATION
State Personnel Board and Division of Human Resources
PERSONNEL BOARD RULES AND PERSONNEL DIRECTOR?S ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
4 CCR 801-1

..........5-20. Administrative leave may be used to grant paid time in situations where the appointing authority
wishes to release employees from their official duties for the good of the state. In determining
what is for the good of the state, an appointing authority considers prudent use of taxpayer and
personal services dollars and the business needs of the department. Pursuant to 1-9, the
appointing authority has the power to define the job...........


I'm not sure if that refence is current or applies but it appears to be...................

That looks correct.
"The good of the State" is really a stretch on this one...
