Denver, CO, USA. Colorado legislators placed limits on juvenile transfers to adult court, mirroring a national trend to focus more on rehabilitation and less on retribution.
Reacting to the rise in youth violence that peaked in 1994, every state had created youth transfer policies to send more teenagers to adult court and extend sentences for most crimes.

Washington, DC, USA. Same-sex marriage supporters won big victories in state courts and state capitals in recent years. Now they hope to extend that success to the ballot box.
Thirty-three times since 1998, states have voted on gay marriage ballot measures. Thirty-two of those times, opponents of gay marriage have won.

Phoenix, AZ, USA. State support for public universities can't keep up with enrollment growth and inflation, so at least 20 states raised tuition to cover educational costs.
Arizona has led the nation in tuition increases over the past 5 years. Next year, the cost will be frozen in the face of heightened attention to college affordability. Is tuition growth slowing?

Washington, DC, USA. You might expect that WIC, a federal program to help needy mothers buy food for their children, would see increased participation, but the opposite is true.
There isn’t one answer to explain the recent decline in the number of women and young children in the WICS program, which the government officially calls the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.
