The pope's activities in St. Louis offers some state employees a two-day paid vacation. That's the word from the State Office of Adminsitration as Lori Prichard reports from Jefferson City:

Concerns about getting around downtown prompted Commissioner Dick Hansen to tell some state employees to stay out of the office. Those not able to relocate or work at home will still be paid thanks to the pope's visit:

Hansen says the employees who take time off must make up for any lost work.
