STEVE INSKEEP, BYLINE: Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. It's a big weekend in Flagstaff, Ariz. Northern Arizona University is preparing for the homecoming game. And so that people are properly prepared, city bars are holding what they call Tequila Sunrise. The bars open at 6 o'clock in the morning. Authorities say it is indeed legal for the bar to be open at sunrise. It remains illegal, however, to misbehave while drinking. Last year, police arrested more than 40 people during the festivities. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
