final score is kansas 72, isu 85. (adlib score) we'll have more coverage of the game coming up in sports. stephanie: (adlib) stephanie: tonight was the last chance for iowans to see candidates on the national stage before caucus night. stephanie: cnn hosted a democratic presidential town hall at drake university, three candidates nomination. they fielded questions from moderator chris cuomo, as well as more than a dozen iowans inside the auditorium. bernie sanders, who now leads iowa and new hampshire, was asked about his public education plan, and how he aims to make affordable. " i believe that iowa has played a very interesting role in the education, and for 100 plus years what we have believed public education to be is up to

the 12th grade. guess what, the world has changed a college education today is equivlent to a high school diploma 50 years ago, criticise me if you want, fine, i believe every kid in this country who has the ability and the desire should be able to get a higher education regardless of the income of his family. andi will pay for that with a tax on wall street speculation. " stephanie: martin o'malley also took the stage at drake, addressing climate change and iowa's role in paving the way for clean energy alternatives. " and this is another one of those instances, chris, where iowa is pointing the way forward look at what you have already done in your state. 30 to 35 percent of your energy comes from clean iowa wind. which wasnt there 5 years ago, and your employing 5000 people in a new industry. and the great thing about those big component

i-80, is there too darn big to make a whole lotta sense to import them from other countries, so you have to build them here." stephanie: hillary clinton wsa the last to address the crowd, and talked about her track record as secretary of state and a new york senator. jack: the democratic national committee's debbie wasserman- schultz was also involved at the townhall. she sat down with local 5 beforehand to talk about the grassroots campaigning within the democratic party and how that'll help in the general election. " we have really positive results when you have huge numbers of people who are organizing for a democratic candidate in the primary because eventually when we all come together to support whoever our nominee is, we have armies of people who have been engaged, who've organized, and really done some grassroots campaigning here in iowa." stephanie: she spoke before the candidates took the stage at

earlier tonight. she's been criticized for the d-n-c's lack of debates this primary season, and many are saying the townhall was a last-minute decision to appease candidates and their campaigns. jack: local 5's sabrina ahmed also caught up with hillary clinton on the campaign trail in iowa earlier today, and asked about president obama alluding to an endorsement of her candidacy. " i'm very proud that i was part of president obama's cabinet. i'm very proud of the affordable care act and dodd frank cracking down on wall street and saving the auto industry and getting our economy back going but i'm not running for his third term, i'm running for my first term. but i will build on the progress we made and the republicans want to rip it apart and they never tell you what theyr'e going to put in the place of it and senator sanders wants to start over on healthcare which i don't think will be the best to do i think we need to make the affordable care act work, so i am proud to continue the progress, but i have my own plans and proposals and i've gone further in some

jack: in the latest cbs poll of iowa voters, clinton is behind bernie sanders by one point, and behind in new hampshire by 19 points. stephanie: at a time a lot of people are talking about gun control... a bill that would expand gun rights for iowans is making its way through the statehouse.... potentially giving children under the age of 14 the right to use a handgun with their parents permission and supervison... local fives nikki davidson has the latest from the statehouse. in the lobby of the statehouse... natalie and meredith gibson stick out for only being 12 and 10 years old... they know their way around. (spelling out name) they even have the guts to request see the politicans for a one on one... 23:03:36 pull out senators, talk to them about our bill, see if they support us. they may be some of the youngest pushing for change but now they're veterans... its the third time they've tried to change the law.

probably going to pass this year. the way the law is now children can't shoot hanguns at all until they're 14... but before they knew it was illegal... the girls used to shoot with their father at local ranges... as you can see from this video... natalie started when she was five. (nat) nathan gibson says it's about gun safety.. he taught his girls how to respect and properly use a firearm, so they wouldn't be curious about them. this afternoon they sat before the house judiciary subcommitte with their new bill and were met with a split table... competitve shooting coaches, fathers, and even pastors who support them... (it boils down to this is a common sense approach.) and pedtratric health professionals... and gun control groups who don't. (children under the age of 14 don't have the same kind of judgement as children 16, 17,18) some who oppose the bill critcize the fact that if it passed there would be no minmum age for children to shoot handguns. (iowans don't want a blank check for children to have guns without any limitations) while supporters say

right to decide when ready continue to follow statehouse, in des moines nikki davidson iowa. stephanie: for the youth safety and parental rights act is for it to be voted on in a house subcommittee... if it passes it will go to a full committee. last year under the omnibus gun bill... it passed in the house three times. jack: statehouse tonight, the fight over education funding has started. session started, lawmakers said they would get education funding as possible. house floor tonight. debating calls for a four percent funding increase, but there's an amendment to and earlier amendment passed the house. "19:41 under this plan, property taxes will go up, class size will icrease, positions will be cut, items like textbook purchases will be ushedoff for another year and technology will be pu

purchase orders. " jack: medicaid is the other huge topic at the statehouse this session. the director of iowa's medicaid program updated a senate committee today on improvements they've made so the state can switch over to managed care. one concern has been about the call centers for people on medicaid who have questions about the change over. stephanie: and we have new details about that dart bus crash earlier tonight. stephanie: the bus, carrying two passengers, went off the road and crashed into a house a little after 5 p-m. it happened near east douglas avenue and cambridge street. the bus driver and one passenger were injured. the woman who lives here was home at the time of the crash... she got out ok, but says the impact felt like an earthquake. " i had just gotten up from the living room to the kitchen to do dishes a few minutes

shook and everything fell. i came out and the walls were all smashed in. " stephanie: janet said she's not as worried about her house as much as she is about her 6 cats that were inside and are unaccounted for tonight. the cause of the crash is still being investigated at this time, but dart officials believe the driver may have had a medical issue. the red cross was also there to help. james: ((ad lib weather toss)) jack: coming up on jack: coming up on local 5 news at 10... thousands of people on the east coast are still digging out from the weekend's blizzard, and it's not just piles of snow they're dealing with now. take sot tomorrow on good morning iowa... an interesting investment opportunity for a foward thinker...with some extra cash. how about owning your own town...we'll explain how. and sam has a look at your forecast ((:04 wx ad-lib)) that's tomorrow on
