spread out. there is a survey that advocates point to. i think a better number would be a survey that the state department of education puts out every year. they ask public schools to monitor the number of homeless kids in their districts. that number this year, 24,000. triple what it was a decade ago. huge number. >> astonishing number. and we think about people being turn wide from sxherlts what options >> it's often a choice for single men to stay outside, and they often do. family, parents don't feel like they have a choice. they want to make sure their kid stargs under a roof -- are staying under a roof. >> thank you so much . your ballot should arrive in the mail later this week. when you get to the amendments and the propositions, don't vote all yes or all no just for the hell of it! and yes no, yes no, yes no is not smarter. tonight we're airing an hour-long debate

60 minute, here's 60 seconds! colorado's ballot glshs 60 seconds. 69, colorado air, state-run universal healthcare, yes. >> if they're far universal healthcare, this is the way to get there. >> no. >> enormous new tax that all coloradans pay. >> amendment 70, minimum wage. yes. >> raising it for workers is an economic driver. >> no. >> you're harm sbusinesses >> reporter: 71, make harder to yes. >> if you want to change the document, you should demonstrate more support. >> this is the one tool the people have when the legislature is not responsive. >> reporter: 72, raise the tobacco tax, yes. >> it's about keeping our kids from smoking. >> reporter: the no side didn't show. prop 106, physician-assisted suicide, yes. >> we want this option to control the manner and the timing and the way that they die. >> reporter: no.

hillary clinton or donald trump. i'm struggling with it like many americans. >> are you gonna vote in the race? >> i don't know. >> no. i don't know if i'll cast a vote for president. >> here's how coffman tries to frame the choice for voters in the suburbs that make up the six congressional districts. >> the fundamental question in gonna decide who's gonna be president. we're gonna decide who's gonna be the next speaker of the house. is paul ryan gonna stay speaker of the house or is nancy pelosi? do we return to what morgan carroll would call the good all days with all the lover was power in washington dc, and they would cram through things like obamacare without a single republican vote. >> it sounds like you're

republican holdout. >> could be. >> and i'll ask coffman if he contributed to the rise of donald trump when he joined him in questioning president obama's birthplace and gid mesa. trump is back again. stops in colorado today, colorado springs and grand junction. mike pence will be in durango tomorrow night. we'll wearing those "i voted" stickers and social media profile pictures. some of those people are total poseurs. >> there are two sides. the positive i want to be included, i want to be in the group of people who does their civic duty. then there's the negative side, i don't want to be person who doesn't do that. i don't want to have that public shame. that negative side may come out a little bit more in this particular election when people aren't super thrilled about

and leuer like oh, i really don't want to vote but i don't want to be the dufus who doesn't. so i'm gonna get my sticker and i don't have to be humanil yatded. humiliated. no shame in the game of colorado's most talked about public transportation line. is the a-line work something you know it is! new numbers may restrain those prone to complain. a-line has an average on-time daily performance of 87%. he told us he'd like to see it in the mid-90s. so we'll keep doing our part. noise complaints tend to come from the same citizens over and over again. a thinktank

the noise about the noise at dia. there are 4,800 noise complaints last year. one single guy in strasburg was responsible for 73% of the calls. he called nearly ten the times a day on average. his name isn't listed in the reports, we knows he lives -- know he lives about 30 miles from the airport. things% of the noise complaints from diacame from just 4 people! 96%! the same holds true in other cities. the vast majority of complaints came from just people in dc, las vegas, and l.a.. policy makers should think before rushing to make airport changes based on the volume of noise complaints. we dot same thing here at next. we only count the first angry e-mail you send. partly cloudy , mild for days!

>> it started as a private conversation. it was taped. >> and a sign you're entering a

forecast way up high, rocky mountain national park. beautiful conditions up there. another 2, 6 inches of snow coming in with a weak little weather system. average date are the first snowfall is tomorrow! don't see that in the forecast. maybe a brief rain shower overnight tonight. higher temperature at 65 is about where we should be for this time of year. and as we composite, there is a little snow already moving into the northern mountains. in which with the system is pretty short-lived and not ov abundant. no winter weather or travel advisories tonight. overnight tonight is the best chance at seeing any moisture across the state. and there will be a few clouds around the area, and that's something that we'll be dealing with the early morning hours. by midday tomorrow, lots of sunshine. look for temperatures to be above

partly cloudy skies. tomorrow sunshine with temperatures in the afternoon. cooler than today in the upper 50s. tomorrow night skies clear, we drop below freezing to around thishtd degrees. a nice temperature trend for the rest of the weekend, temperatures in the 70s for friday, saturday, and sunday is. beautiful conditions way up high, look past the trees, you might see a waterfall or maybe some of our 4-legged friends. the attack ads running in colorado congressional race don't mention that congressman mike coffman backtracked when he questioned president obama's jilt mesa yearsing -- -- legitimacy four years ago but perhaps the damage was done. >> did you and other elected republicans who kind of flirted with this birther nonsense help put donald trump on the map? >> no. >> no responsibility at all? >> none. >> why do you say that?

was bone-headed. i thought it was a private conversation they was having. it was being taped. >> you were onsteak with a microphone. >> that's no excuse. it was a private group, not a public event. but that's no excuse. i said i was wrong. i've never taken that position publicly. >> you didn't give any cover to the tv personality donald trump who was saying this because you were mike coffmanle >> no. >> you don't see attachment. >> no. >> the population of people living in colorado illegally is a bit smaller than the population of the city of aurora. the third largest city in the state, it would be. what's the path to legal status for those people? >> i think we need to go to a system that -- where we have tough enforcement. where if you're here illegally, you're gonna be deported. but the question is we we have had this

facto amnesty for so many people, people who have been here for a very long time, haven't violated any laws other than immigration laws. my sympathy really are with the children. children that were taken here when they were young work grew up here who know of no other country. and i've introduced cosponsored legislation that would give them a path to permanent residence based on education, work history, military service. >> as for the children brought here. what about the adults? >> for the like to see is to give them a punitive time to come out of the shadows. and as long as they haven't violated criminal laws, to give them a legalized status that would allow them to work here without fear of deportation. >> not citizenship? >> legal status. >> any path to citizenship? >> no, no. if we did it in negotiations and there's everything that i like and it's

path, very selective. ideally i would say no. >> thank you for your time. >> thank you for having me. i appreciate it. >> our full conversation is on our youtube page. that's where you'll find yesterday's discussion with his challenger. tips on how to panel political dre newspaper editors facing death threats. if you're ready to give up and move to canada, we have

the arizona republic endorsed a democrat over a in its 125-year history. some readers responded thankfully. other sent in death threats. "you're dead! watch your back. we will burn you down isn't"! and "you should be put in front of a firing squad as a traitor." the editorial board knew it would be a big deal when they went clinton over trump. but the board feels it chose patriotism over party. and the nastiness

interesting: kindness. >> we're used to getting grumpy messages, nast messages -- nasty messages, whether we're doing something like this or not. one of the reporters stopped me and said it's old hat but we're used to it, and it's par for the course when you get grumpy messages. then it's just so amazing to hear from people all around the country, all around the world. >> we like how the arizona republic rolls, not because of who they we'd be equally proud of a liberal newspaper who broke ranks to endorse a republican. it's that they're not afraid to be different and stand by their work. no matter how this election turns out, i'm moving to canada! i'm not, but haven't you heard that a lot this election cycle? we figured we'd put together an, if aq if you actually plan to move there. >> reporter: canadian s are friendly. but they just won't let you become a citizen overnight. >> oh, it's a lot tougher than

apply to be a permanent resident which is requires you spend 2 years out of 5 in canada. it's toughtory become a citizen. you have to have been a permanent resident in canada for six years leading up to your citizenship application. in that time, you have to have been physically present in the country for at least 1,460 days. and you either need french. and you have to take a test on how much you know about the canadian way of life, which should be a lot seeing that you lived there for six years. you should probably also know about puttine! the canadian delicacy. it's good. and their dollar coins are loonies. and two

>> that's change you can count o. you also want to make sure you have a wide variety of clothing. those canadian winters can be a little rough, eh? >> it's just minnesota for both are us. [ laughter ] colorado small towns have

it lists the year to date town was established, the elevation, and the population, then they total them up at the bottom. how exactly does that add up? town of snow mass says before it was a town. >> you could call it an inside joke. i think the locals did it. and guests do a double take and scratch their heads and wonder if it's for real. but yeah, we definitely have a sense of humor here. and we're kind of a casual, laid back community and i think the sign reflects that. >> they're having to relocate the sign because they're

population is accurate for the 2010 census but they may need to redo the elevation if they move it up the hill. adrian says "thanks for breaking down the ballot issues in 60 seconds." full special,
