NATIONAL NEWS: ADDED STRESS PILED ON AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS

Stressed-out air traffic controllers at Denver International Airport and beyond are working without regular pay during the federal government shutdown.

Says Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: “Now what they think about as they’re controlling our airspace is, how am I going to pay my mortgage? ... Do I have to take a second job and drive Uber when I’m already exhausted."

His comments were reported by the Associated Press.
