And he was still going. I finished my workday and folded some laundry and paid some first-of-the-month bills…

Every summer, Sean Decker does what many other fathers do with their children. He takes them on a trip to watch baseball. Decker — the president of Dallas-based REV Entertainment, the new owners of the Kane County Cougars — did that again last July. REV also owns the Cleburne Railroaders, fellow members of the American Association with the Cougars. Decker and his 7-year-old son came up for three games between the two teams.

Elected leaders in Colorado are responding to President Donald Trump’s announcement of global tariffs on imports. While there is concern these tariffs could hurt Coloradans, one expert said there is a chance they could benefit certain industries. “Clearly this is a very evolving time and a very dynamic time,” said Kishore Kulkarni, Distinguished Professor of Economics at Metropolitan State University. More than 60 countries are now being targeted with tariffs on imports. A baseline of 10% will be imposed on foreign imports, while some countries may have even steeper tariffs.  Trump’s plan calls for reciprocal tariffs to be imposed on…
