## Resource

The federal government has given Colorado permission to import certain pharmaceutical drugs directly from Canada; what that could mean for prices. Then, as school districts around the state start implementing cell phone policies, we look at what’s changed for districts that have completely banned devices. Then, why some of the top hurricane forecasters in the country do their work a mile above sea level. Email us at coloradotoday@cpr.org . Colorado Today is supported by CPR’s members .
