Labor Department Adopts New Colorado Overtime and Minimum Pay Standards Rule – Julesburg

Police at the polling place? Commissioners say no to overtime pay - Carroll County Times
Confrontations at polling places and concerned election judges prompted Carroll County's election director to request "more of a presence" of police at polls in the 2020 elections. But the county commissioners would not approve the request because it's not included in the budget.
Carroll County employs nearly 700 election judges to operate 36 polling places, and some of those judges expressed concern for their safety during the 2018 election cycle, according to Katherine Berry, election director.
