What we’re working on: Dec. 28

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.
Wondering what you can do with your kids over the holidays? We’re putting together some ideas.
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 other will be taken off.
