State officials investigating Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s director for anmade at the department’s annual conference last month are also looking into comments made by the Black employee who was the target of the director’s remark.
As the director attempted to thank Lee, who is Black, for helping organize the conference in Vail, he allegedly said, “There she is, in the back of the bus, Aloe!” But a spokesman for the Department of Natural Resources, which oversees Parks and Wildlife, said Thursday that the scope of the investigation goes beyond Prenzlow to include comments made by Lee and others at the conference.
Lee, along with Prenzlow, was placed on paid leave while the investigation continues. Arend did not answer when The Post asked why Lee also was placed on leave. He said “yes” in an email when asked if something she said is also part of the investigation.She was surprised when told the department was looking into her comments as well.
