Denver homicides up; meatpackers locked out in Fort Morgan; a Colorado rover on the moon?
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
Homicides are way up in Denver this year so far, compared to last year, and that has community members asking whether the city is doing enough to prevent youth violence in particular. Then, the Cargill meatpacking plant in Fort Morgan is sitting idle, while workers picket outside. Plus, NASA has picked a Colorado-built rover as part of its future lunar base.
