host committee says this event has definitely built up our state. >> what i heard is when people came downtown, they were just so excited to see the energy and the activity and just everything going on and that was what we wanted to show
arizona as, because we know it can be that way. >> the committee says they want this event to leave a lasting legacy on not just the out-of-towners but arizona residents. >> we heard a lot of comments of people saying i didn't even
know this was down here and now i'm going to bring my friends or my family so it's definitely a good impact for downtown phoenix. >> and may be a tipping point to host more big events but glendale mayor jerry weiers admitted the city lost more
than a million dollars when hosting the super bowl in 2008. and even though no hard numbers are out yet for the economic impacts of this year's super bowl, with them reaching their $30 million fundraising goal, she feels positive. >> you can't put a price on it
because it does position us well for the future, future growth, and being positioned as the world-class destination. >> right now, asu's w.p. carey school of business is working on an economic study so it may take some time before we see if the game had a lasting impact.

headed right for the home town of the patriots. cronkite news reporter mackenzie scott is live with now weather conditions are affecting travelers trying to head home after the big game. >> megan, travelers were told to leave their hotels five
hours before their flight. that way they would have enough time to return those rental cars and make it to their gates. now, flyers we spoke to said, despite the lines, they made it through just fine. although all were not certain
that traveling home would be a smooth experience -- >> i'm flying to l.a. through minneapolis, i think back to boston. >> they were positive about one thing. >> normally, it's stressful but it's not today.
>> by far the best, the best, and i just -- i can't say enough about this airport. >> usually, the 15th busiest airport in the nation, today with an expected 180,000 passengers coming in and out of the airport instead of the usual 110,000, phoenix sky
harbor experienced its busiest day ever. >> we've been preparing for this and about a year. the airlines are staffed up, tsa is staffed up, rental car center is ready so everything's going smoothly. >> and the passengers can tell.
>> as soon as we came in on thursday, there was a booth set up for us to be able to plan our trip home and get -- they were just awesome. >> and extra staff helped ensure that the day wouldn't be chaotic. >> we've actually brought in
about 100 additional officers from around the country. we have an additional about 20 k-9s, passenger-screening k-9s who are also brought in from airports around the country. >> and although the results of the super bowl may have helped
with some spirits -- >> go pats, i'm excited that they won so i'm in a great mood, too. >> i'm hoping to get home. >> it seems like the self-proclaimed america's friendliest airport has gotten the approval from passengers.
>> with that storm back east, several airports including logan and boston and all new york city area airports are experiencing delays up to two hours. live from phoenix sky harbor international airport, mackenzie scott, cronkite news.
>> and if you're braving the crowds and still heading out to the airport today, the tsa has some tips to make the most of your travel time. according to the tsa, you'll want to check out of your hotel five hours before your flight. then return your reject car
four hours before. three hours prior to your flight, make sure you check in at the ticket counter and you should be in line for the security check two hours before your flight time. >>> football and fun. after all the excitement last

>> with all the people now leaving phoenix after the super bowl, their trash is left behind. the asu students and other partners are rolling up their sleeves to sort and clean recycleables and non-recycle items by hand in and around the
stadium. >> this is a great example of how asu and its strategic partners really find these creative ways to work together. so it's taking sustainability out of the university and into the community. >> now that the super bowl is
over, now comes the cleanup. about 20 asu students are here at the stadium to pick up trash and recycle it in these bags. >> the nfl is excited to help in efforts keeping the super bowl green and trying to implement a new cleaning strategy at the university of
phoenix stadium. the other stadiums already do. >> doing two sweeps, the normal sweep that the stadium always does to pick up trash but we're doing a preliminary sweep right now where we go through the stadium and we pick up just the recyclable elements and bag all
those up. >> for asu senior sean murray, he wasn't able to attend the game but now gets to make a bigger impact by helping out. >> we came out to participate in a zero-waste event, trying to get some recycles filtered out of the main waste stream,
and then hopefully reduce the amount of waste that was left here at the super bowl. >> not only asu students helped with the cleanup process but volunteers from all across the valley with verizon wireless being the first sustainable sponsor of the super bowl.
>> now, a sporting event this size can produce more than 50 tons of solid waste and of that, a good amount can be recycled. you can find all cronkite news stories from all super bowls at www.cronkitenewsonline.com. >>> super bowl coverage

office dropped off hundreds of copies of president obama's budget proposal for the 2016 fiscal year. cronkite news reporter sierra oshrin is live in washington, tracking our arizona delegates' response. >> congress has until october
to go through a budget proposal that is nearly this thick. but with proposed tax hikes and spending increases, president obama's budget likely faces a tough road in the republican congress. >> the president says his budget proposal will bring
middle-class economics into the 21st century. >> it proposes getting rid of special interest loopholes in our tax code and using those savings to cut taxes for middle-class families and reward businesses that invest in america.
it refuses to play politics with our homeland security and funds our national security priorities at home and abroad. >> the nearly $4 trillion budget would make sure that pell grants will keep pace with inflation, provide tuition-free community college for
responsible students and triple the childcare tax credit for millions of families among other measures, all moves that representative ruben gallego fully supports. >> the fact is the whole budget is actually paid for. we're closing a lot of tax
loopholes, investing in infrastructure. at the end of the day it's not going to add one more dollar to the budget deficit. it's a very responsible way for us to invest back in the families. >> however, not all arizona
lawmakers think this is the responsible way. before the budget was even released, arizona republicans were already reacting in those to tax hikes and high spending programs. republican representative matt salmon and senator jeff flake
were not available for comment, but tweeted out their opinions on the budget much earlier. >> i think we have a republican congress that's really believing that if we keep cutting government services, somehow miraculously the economy will improve and there
will be more jobs. at the end of the day, that's just not occurring. >> lawmakers still haven't approved our current spending plan which only funds homeland security until february of this year. live from our nation's capital,

ellis takes a closer look into arizona's new budget to see how your child's education could be affected. >> it's time to stop paying lawyers and start paying teachers. >> at the release of governor doug ducey's state budget
proposal, the governor's support for education was clear. >> you'll see $134 million additional in new classroom spending in this budget. >> however, the increase for in-classroom spending for k-12 comes from cuts to universities
and administration. >> it's not just your superintendents and your principals but also your transportation services, your food services, your counselors. >> during her state of education address, superintendent diane douglas
also showed her concern. >> giving our children a world-class education should be the one thing we can all agree upon. >> not only did douglas say the state of education is poor, but that arizona's teacher salary remains ranked nationally in
the bottom 10. >> douglas expressed concern about recruiting and retaining qualified teachers, but didn't lay out a plan to make that happen. >> salaries are a major obstacle when recruiting outside of arizona.
>> the teachers i know and have worked with, they're pouring their hearts out in the classrooms. they're working hard and they deserve not only our words, but they deserve our attention and they deserve better. >> now, superintendent diane
douglas also says the commitment to supporting the great teachers who worked tirelessly for our students is the only way to move arizona forward. >>> a major announcement in the tech world. apple invests $2 billion to

used. they had plans to manufacture iphone screens but that plan fell through when g.t. advance technology filed for bankruptcy. now, apple is back without a third-party to make roots in >> arizona is going to be the
best state in the country in which to work and do business. this deal puts an exclamation point on that and begins what is going to be a great year for our state. >> the apple facility will create 150 full-time apple jobs and somewhere between 300 and
500 construction jobs while that command center is being built. live in downtown phoenix, thuy lan nguyen, cronkite news. >>> prescription drug abuse has become an epidemic across ahead we'll explain two new bills in the arizona
legislature aimed at combating this problem. >>> and i'm tracking our skies as the weekend weather looks like it's finally on its way out. i'll have your latest forecast next. >>> for veterans, coming back

to track the issue of heroin addiction in arizona. part of our commitment after our "hooked" documentary. law enforcement and experts believe overprescribing pain medication is one reason there's an increase in heroin addiction.
cronkite news reporter carrie adams reports the state legislature is working to help combat this problem with a monitoring system. >> prescription drug abuse and misuse is an epidemic, not only affecting arizona but states all across the nation.
>> according to law enforcement, some people addicted to prescription pain meds eventually turn to heroin for a cheaper high when they can no longer get those drugs and that addiction can start in their own medicine cabinet. >> in arizona we do have a big
problem with abuse of prescription drugs. and that comes from not only the patient or the person who decides to use those substances but also from prescribers giving too much of that medication, pharmacies from filling medication and people
who are getting them from multiple sources and so this is a way to try to rein some of that in and get that prescription drug problem under control. >> two bills, sb 1031 and 1032 would require doctors and pharmacies to keep track of and
check a database before prescribing or providing prescription pills. >> it is a tool that we can use to kind of help us find those patients who maybe are being overprescribed and we can get them into a situation where they may be able to seek help
for a narcotic abuse problem, but we don't want to be mandated on how to do that. >> and senator ward is open to that. >> so if we can find ways to make this more voluntary, make this something that's very useful to prescribers in
practice, i think they are going to have no problem with utilizing the database. >> and so does the arizona pharmacy association. they say they already have different healthcare boards looking into the issue and are encouraging more pharmacies to
use the database. in phoenix, i'm carrie adams, >>> just to give you an idea of how many pills went unused, last year the drug enforcement agency collected over 600,000 pounds of unused prescription drugs nationwide. almost 9,000 pounds were
collected here in arizona. >>> and you may recall from last week, cronkite news reported on an epi-pen style auto-injection method designed for someone overdosing on heroin. the life-saving drug called naloxone has a boost now that
the clinton foundation has stepped in to lower the cost. they're pushing to get the fda-approved antidote in the hands of more paramedics and to make it more user friendly. it will allow more than just hospitals to carry the drug. police departments and even
universities could be carrying it soon. >>> people going to the concerts this weekend at super bowl central had to spend a little time in the rain. we have a check of the forecast. >> after an exciting weekend of
weather, we can look forward to the great temperatures we'll have this week. but first, let's recognize that it is groundhog day and punxsutawney phil saw his shadow which means we still have six more weeks of winter. according to accuweather,
phil's predictions are 80% accurate. but in the meantime, let's look at this view of downtown the sun is out, skies are clear, and temperatures are looking great. if you're looking to have dinner outside with the family,
i would go ahead and do so because temperatures are perfect. in fact, let's look at the rest of the nation. temperatures are different, but let's look at this storm system. up north in new york, all the
way down south to atlanta, there is a lot of storm activity going on and the reason for that if we focus in on the north, we have a low-pressure system making its way into places like new york. it's dropping temperatures, and it's bringing in the snow.
in fact, some flights have had to be canceled and delayed because of how much snow is in the area. and with this low-pressure system brings low temperatures. 10 degrees in chicago, 23 degrees in new york. but here on the west side, it's
a different story. much hotter and the reason for that is because of the high-pressure system moving into the area. it's going to heat us up over the next few days. but in the meantime, let's enjoy these current
temperatures. right here in phoenix we're at 73 degrees, down south at 69 in tucson. 78 in yuma, up north much cooler, 54 degrees at the grand canyon and 56 in flagstaff. over the next few days, the temperatures are going to start
increasing. we see wednesday at 78 degrees, but by thursday we're going to hit the mid-80s. 83 on thursday, up to 84 on friday. but as the weekend rolls in and those clouds roll in, we're going to see 81 degrees on
saturday. but looking at our lows we're going to be in the mid- to upper 50s. for cronkite weather. >>> the nfl rolled out the red carpet, highlighting plays and players in the 2014 season. after the break, we'll take you
to the red carpet from saturday where the cardinals took home some of the nfl's top honors. >>> at asu, we believe the most important semester is the one that starts after you get your diploma. the one called life. so we work hard to help our
alumni thrive, teaching them the importance of not only achieving their goals but exceeding them with innovative programs that embrace hands-on learning, that encourages real-world growth. our alumni know it can be the education of a lifetime, for a
lifetime. for more information, thrive.asu.edu. >> i think so. >> what are the consequences? >> will you march with us? >> the world is more complicated than it's ever been.
>> the news hour is always going to take you deeper and take you broader. >> and that is worth fighting for. >> night after night seven days a week. >> i'm gwen ifill. >> and i'm judy woodruff.
>> on behalf of all of us here, thanks for watching. >>> they may not have been in the big game but some arizona cardinals walked away from super bowl weekend with some major nfl honors. >> kari osep takes us to the red carpet.
>> i don't think you ever look ahead and see this coming. >> arian got the coach of the year award. >> it's all up to you guys to decide those things and like i said very humbled to accept it. >> to be able to do what he accomplished this year, with so
many different lineups, so many different changes, it's really a true testament to him. >> this is his second time winning the coaching accolade in three years of holding the top spot and he's quick to give credit. >> there's no such thing for me
as a one-person award in such a team sport. every injury that occurred, they looked at the next man's opportunity. and that's really -- it makes my job extremely easy. >> one of the players making it easy, team leader larry
fitzgerald who got the first-ever art rooney award for sportsmanship. >> it's not a popularity contest. it's guys' authentic feelings and it means a lot to me to be recognized as the first recipient.
>> for the arizona cardinals, sportsmanship comes naturally. >> it's the way my parents raised me. >> fitzgerald believes it's a responsibility for all nfl players. >> millions and millions of people watch our games, they
watch the way we conduct ourselves on the field, they read about how we conduct ourselves off the field, and it's important that we represent ourselves well, our organizations in the right way. >> former cardinal and sun devil player pat tillman
exemplified these ideas. he touched players every, including j.j. watt. >> it's so cool to work at arizona state the last two weeks to see all the things in his memorial and all the different things, very, very special.
>> beyond all the awards handed out this weekend, it is tillman's honor that will be remembered. in phoenix, kari osep, cronkite news. >>> that's it for cronkite news tonight. don't forget, we're always on
