LAPORTE, Colo. (CBS4) – It isn’t easy getting the attention of a U.S. representative, but Congressman Joe Neguse says when he read letters from students at Cache La Poudre Middle School in Laporte, he was compelled to respond in person.
“Hearing you all make the case really inspired me,” Neguse told the students at an assembly Tuesday.
They wrote the letters as part of an assignment, but could have chosen any issue. Most of the 100 letters asked for help for classmates with disabilities.

Congressman Joe Neguse on Thursday introduced legislation proposing that general aviation airports, such as Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, Boulder Municipal Airport and Northern Colorado Regional Airport, be able to self-impose restrictions relating to noise concerns.
