What we’re working on: Dec. 18
Here’s a look at our news budget at this hour for tomorrow’s paper. It also reflects much of what you’ll see on our website during the day.
Our budgets can and often will change a lot between now and tonight: Some stories will change as new information comes in, some stories will be added to the budget and others will be taken off.
Note that we’ve got a story on 1A talking to local legislators and police chiefs about their thoughts on whether a full ban on all cellphone use while driving would be enforceable. What do you think about that?
What questions do you have about stories we’re working on, or about the budget form itself? Do you know of something we should be covering that you don’t see on the budget? Let us know by commenting here. And, check out our Google+ page for more conversation about how we’re covering the news.
