Colorado transportation worker investigated for work email depicting Obama shining Palin's shoes

DENVER - It's a reminder that the emails you send at work, can sometimes come back to haunt you.
At least one Colorado Department of Transportation employee is being investigated for sending an inappropriate email featuring President Barack Obama and Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
When we got our hands on the email Tuesday, we immediately contacted CDOT.
They tell us at least one employee could be fired for this.
"We're taking this very seriously," said Mindy Crane, Spokesperson for CDOT.
The title of the email is "Picture of the year" and the photo of Obama and Palin inside may be considered as racially charged and offensive.
The one liner in the email says "It appears he has found his niche," referring to President Obama.
The attachment is a photo-shopped picture of President Barack Obama shining the shoes of former Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
The sender of the email is a 73 year-old CDOT supervisor.
"It's certainly an inappropriate email to begin with, but its the fact too that it's being sent on state time and using state resources and for that we find that very unacceptable," Crane said.
CDOT says its IT department is looking into how many employees may have forwarded the email.
"It's very disappointing for us that employees are taking advantage of those resources available to them," Crane said.
The employee supervises one other person and is a step above an administrative assistant.
Because no official disciplinary action has been taken against the employee, 9NEWS is not releasing her name, but it does not appear she created the attachment.
According to voting records, the woman is a registered Democrat, although it's unknown if she voted for Obama.
Politics aside, CDOT says employees who misuse company email could be suspended or even fired.
"We have a very clear policy at CDOT that states state resources cannot be used for personal use, and that includes internet, computers, and email."
The employee did meet with CDOT's top directors late Tuesday afternoon regarding the incident.
We emailed the employee and left business cards at her home to get a comment, but so far we have not heard back from her. |
