							BREAKING NEWS 
							
							
							  
							
								On Friday 
								morning Senator Sally Turner (far left) and 
								Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch (far right) announced 
								that Governor JB Pritzker is proposing a large 
								sum of money for the demolition of abandoned 
								state-owned properties and that Lincoln 
								Developmental Center is on the short list of 
								projects. 
								 
								The demolition will make the properties 
								“shovel-ready” for economic development, opening 
								the door for new business, industry, and/or 
								housing for the Lincoln community. 
								 
								Lincoln Daily News will have full details from 
								the press conference in its Saturday edition.

							When you walk into 
							Culver’s in Lincoln, you might notice a board that 
							says pay-it-forward. With the pay-it-forward 
							program, people can pay for a meal in advance. Then 
							when people in need come in, they can take one of 
							the receipts off the board to the counter and order 
							a meal.  
									
							The sign tells people 
							to speak to a Culver’s team member if the board is 
							empty so they don’t leave hungry.  
									
							Anyone who wants to 
							buy a meal to put on the board should speak to an 
							employee.
