JANET: STATE EMPLOYEES CAN MARCH MONDAY

Janet Napolitano’s office issued an advisory today to correct “misinformation” regarding Monday’s massive immigration march, which is expected to draw 100,000 people to the Capitol area. But it contained this interesting tidbit:

State employees who wish to participate in the march may do so, by using annual leave and coordinating with their supervisors.

This strikes me as awfully curious — why is the state’s chief executive going out of her way to make sure state employees know they can take time off work to participate in a protest march, especially one that is causing so much trepidation among state officials?
