JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Gov. Mike Parson wants to spend some of the state's multi-billion-dollar surplus to widen parts of Interstates 70, but the Senate's budget chair is proposing to add an extra lane throughout the entire state. Parson's request was to expand I-70 in the suburban areas of St. Louis, Kansas City and Columbia, costing $860 million. At a time when the state is flush with cash, Republican Sen. Lincoln Hough says Missouri should be investing. "If we're going to spend almost a billion dollars in the governor's request, why don't we package this in a way that actually gets this project completely done," Hough said.

The Nuggets open the NBA playoffs on Sunday night, about the time you tell the kids to brush their teeth and get ready for bed.While the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns will be featured in prime time on TNT, the Nuggets are scheduled to play Game 1 at Ball Arena against the final survivor of the play-in tournament during the 8:30 p.m. slot, which starts on time less often than an appointment at the doctor’s office.Try not to take it personally, but the powers that be in the NBA don’t give a darn about Denver.

Top law enforcement officials from Riverside County, as well as the district attorney from a nearby county, held a press conference Wednesday where they leveled strong criticism against the perceived revolving door of justice in the state.  Pointing to a rise in crime, officials said offenders are released from jail too frequently.

By Jesse Bedayn | Associated Press/Report for AmericaDENVER — Cindy Powers was driven into bankruptcy by 19 life-saving abdominal operations. Medical debt started stacking up for Lindsey Vance after she crashed her skateboard and had to get nine stitches in her chin.
