Colorado’s Independence Institute may have uncovered a big scandal:
“Independence Investigates” has obtained internal emails from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) showing that a software control intended to prevent the payment of unemployment insurance to unqualified citizens as well as to illegal aliens was shut off in early 2009.
The emails dictate that former CDLE unemployment insurance director Mike Cullen demanded “Work Order 51662” be given top priority within the department. Completion of the work order would mean various questions asked of someone filing for unemployment regarding citizenship would effectively be ignored by a computer system.
What’s more, according to the emails, employees appear to have piped up and expressed concern about the legality of what they were doing:
In one email, an IT technician says, “This seems to be a super fast slam dunk. Do we need anything in writing from [uninsurance director] Mike Cullen as this seems to be a violation of the law (HB-1023)?”
Another email from a different IT technician predicted media fallout, saying, “…this ain’t all so hard to do, BUT we will effectively disabling the legislatures HB-1023 which is now state law. When Channel 4 news finds out, lots of people will be pointing finders [sic] and saying, ‘it wasn’t me.’”
Interesingly enough, Mike Cullen, who was responsible for this questionable directive, now works for a private software company that has contracts with the state to combat unemployment fraud. There’s a lot more at the link — expect some political fallout when this hits the news in the Centennial State.

This has been tweeted all over the place. Let’s see how long the Denver Post can avoid reporting it.
Another one of obama’s criminals who needs jail time.

I’m not in Colorado, but wasn’t that same outfit that took forever to even mention the Romanoff scandal?
It wouldn’t surprise me though if what was just the tip of the iceberg. I’d be stunned if Colorado was the only place this was happening.
Yes, that would be the outfit. I am not in Colorado, either, but I try to keep up. I used to live there. The old Rocky Mountain News would have been all over it.

Drudge should report this. This is an outrage.
Denver ABC7 has it on their site

California works the same way they are better at keeping it hid.
Thanks. I went over there and snarked.
