SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The digital world’s data must be stored somewhere. Lawmakers want to give Illinois an even chance of ensuring it’s stored here. In its final weeks in May, the Legislature added a package of business-friendly initiatives to state budget legislation now awaiting action by Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Chief among them are tax breaks for data centers, often-monstrous facilities that centralize an organization’s information technology operations equipment and store, manage and disseminate data.

A large number of Survivors turned out for the 2019 edition of the Cass County Relay for Life on Friday night at the Atlantic High School. Survivors enjoyed a free meal donated by the Atlantic Hy-Vee in the Atlantic High School Commons and were then joined by teams to share their reasons to Relay.
Following the indoor ceremony everyone headed outside to remember those lost and honor those fighting Cancer during a Pennant Ceremony. Following that Survivors made a lap around the track to celebrate another year of birthdays.
Other supporters then enjoyed a donated tailgate meal and everyone enjoyed a time for fellowship and walking.
The Cass County Relay for Life Committee would like to thank everyone involved in another year of fighting back against Cancer.
