Then, a father asks lawmakers to get tougher on careless driving after a motorist who killed his son got a misdemeanor conviction. Plus, a local economist speaks to your economic anxiety, and what to expect in the months ahead. And a two-time high school poetry champion represents Colorado at nationals.
