Illegal Alien Invading Denver

When I worked for the State Administrative leave was used when the Guvnah was generous and granted either Xmas eve or New Year’s Eve off and disciplinary purposes.

Given as a reward anymore. Can't pay you a good salary, here are two more days of leave. 16 hours.

Top performer in pay for performance, 2 days leave. But when you decide to use it, not a good time. Can you pick another time?

I have someone who is interested in this as a story. She needs an original copy of the email. Can anyone send it to me? Or to her if you'd prefer.

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

Aiding and abetting known criminals isn't a good thing?

I do not have a copy of the email but here is the Department of Personnel and Administration, Code of Colorado Regulations as it pertains to "Administrative Leave":

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. Activities performed in an official
employment capacity, including job-related training and meetings, voluntary training, and
conferences are typically work time and do not require administrative leave. Participation in
hearings or settlement conferences at the direction of the Board or Director is work time.
Testifying in court or official government hearings on job-related matters when required by an
appointing authority or subpoena is work time. Administrative leave is not intended to be a
substitute for such things as corrective or disciplinary action or other benefits and leave.
A. Any administrative leave granted to an employee that exceeds 20 consecutive working days
must be reported to the department head and the Director.
B. An appointing authority may grant administrative leave up to five days for local or 15 days for
national emergencies per fiscal year to employees who are certified disaster service
volunteers of the American Red Cross.
C. A department head may adopt a policy granting one period of administrative leave for the
initial call up to active military service in the war against terrorism or other military
operations. Such leave shall not exceed 90 calendar days and applies after exhaustion
of paid military leave. It is only used to make up the difference between the employee?s
base salary (excluding premiums) and total gross military pay and allowances. The
employee must furnish proof of military pay and allowances. This leave does not apply to
regular military obligations such as the annual encampment and training.
5-21. Administrative leave must be granted for the following.
A. Two hours to participate in general elections if the employee does not have three hours of
unscheduled work time during the hours the polls are open.
B. Up to two days per fiscal year for organ, tissue, or bone donation for transplants.
C. To serve as an election judge unless a supervisor determines that the employee?s attendance
on election day is essential. The employee cannot receive compensation other than the
paid administrative leave for serving as an election judge and must provide evidence of
service.

The bold text is the gist of it.
If this email was sent to all state agencies (and I am sure it was) then the part about the "Business needs of the department" becomes a quagmire to Polis.
How can one make a blanket decree that "aiding" foreign nationals that are violating Federal law falls within the "Business needs" of a given department of the State and is for the "Good of the State"?

Denver is asking for help sheltering the illegals.

"Hancock has recently reached out to to other cities and counties in the metro area to see if they can shelter some of the migrants, but there have been no takers yet, he says. So far, Denver has spent over $3 million on sheltering and services for the migrants."

"The State of Colorado has offered money to each county or city that helps with sheltering migrants. Thus far, Denver, which received $1.5 million from the state, has been the only metro government to apply for the money. There's still $1 million left for any other local government that wants to help."
