There was a nationwide annual
celebration of marijuana on Sunday… It’s called 4/20.
Hundreds of students got together on
the CU campus mostly to “light up”. At Denver's
Civic Center Park,
as many as a thousand showed up.
Voters in Denver approved a measure that makes possession
of a small amount of pot legal. But it’s not in Boulder.
There’s no word if there were any pot-related
arrests at CU... There was one arrest at the event in Denver.
What's your opinion... should there be arrests at events like this?

Parents of two students at Stein Elementary School in Jefferson County are fighting the suspensions of their students.
School administrators say a couple of other students brought vicodin to school and distributed it. Vicodin is a prescription pain killer.
Two students who received the pills say they immediately got rid of them. They say they did not take them, and that they did the right thing and got rid of them.
School administrators suspended those two for possession. Their parents say that's not right.
What do you think?

What do you think about Carmelo Anthony's arrest on suspicion of DUI?
Does it matter any more or any less than when anyone else gets arrested for the same thing? He apologized to the fans and the Nuggets organization just hours after he was pulled over.
Carmelo Anthony's blood test results won't be back for several days. He has been released and ordered to appear in court in the middle of May.
What is your opinion about this. What should happen?

A new walk-in clinic located inside Alameda High School in Lakewood is giving the
public access to primary health care.
The clinic is for teens and kids under age 18, and it will be open year round.
An external exit was built to
keep students away from the general public.
Do you think it's a good
idea to put a clinic that's open to the public inside a school?

Alameda High School in Lakewood is giving students an option and a decision to make.
They can agree to following a strict,
uniform-like dress code in exchange for being able to use cell phones,
iPods, etc, at lunch, or they can keep the current dress code and lose use of the
gadgets at school.
School administrators want the dress code to help handle a gang problem. The dress code would be solid shirts and solid pants. Some students call the proposal "blackmail."
Administrators will make a decision based upon a survey that has gone out to students and parents.
What do you think about this idea?

The news for the airline industry isn't so good right now.
Consumer complaints rose 60 percent in the annual Airline Quality Rating.
The main reason include the facts that airfares are up, late flights are up and more passengers are being bumped from their flights at the boarding gate.
On top of all that, bankruptcy filings shut down three airlines last week. All airlines face the challenges of rising fuel prices and safety problems with aircraft.
What's your biggest complaint about air travel? What ideas do you think might work to improve performance of the airlines?

The U.S. Senate is headed toward a vote on legislation designed to reduce home foreclosures.
It's a bipartisan plan that dropped some elements of a Democratic party plan that would've given judges power to reduce interest rates on some mortgages.
Here are some highlights of the new plan:
- $10 billion in tax-exempt bonds to refinance subprime loans
- $4 billion to states to buy up and refurbish foreclosed homes
- $15,000 in tax credits to people who buy and move into foreclosed homes
- FHA guarantee hundreds of billions in refinanced loans if lenders reduce loan amounts to reflect lower home values
Colorado is expected to have 50,000 home foreclosures in 2008 in the next couple of years.
What do you think about this plan? What should the government do if anything, to help ease this crisis?

The Denver Broncos have laid off eight front office employees, and they have not replaced a fired general manager and two departed assistant coaches.
Why? Team owners say it's because of the current labor deal the NFL has with the players and the sagging economy.
NFL Films has laid off 21 employees. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says more teams will face layoffs, just like the Broncos.
Broncos owner Pat Bowlen told the Rocky Mountain News, "The problem really is the players are getting too big a slice of the pie, so we're having to cut back in some other areas." He also said not all of the staff decisions were made for economic reasons.
What do you think... do you agree or disagree with Bowlen? Do professional athletes make too much money?

There is talk of a nationwide truckers' strike on Tuesday, April 1, 2008.
Truckers
who are trying to organize the strike are doing it mainly to protest
the rising cost of fuel. Their hope is that a work stoppage would
disrupt the transportation of goods enough to force change in the cost
of fuel.
What do you think about this action? Do you support it? Is it likely to have an impact?
