Couple’s heartfelt proposal at cherished tree farm marks 70th anniversary
Phillips 28 and Forsberg 27 became engaged on a snowy hilltop at Pine Hills Tree Farm in Scott Township. After an encore Santa and Mrs Claus appearance, Phillips dropped to one knee beside a gift-wrapped ring as family looked on. Pine Hills, founded in 1939 by Ernie and Herb Rogers, spans 30 acres with a 400-foot sled run and a tradition of customers cutting their own trees. The farm celebrates seven decades of family visits, with many customers returning across generations.

Nebraska abortion funding bill faces Senate vote
Nelson argues public funds should not cover abortion and the amendment restricting private purchases may curb access.

The bill seeks to let private subsidized plans offer abortion coverage only if funds are strictly segregated.

Pennsylvania table games bill heads to vote in House
House officials say a preliminary vote could occur today with a final vote as early as tomorrow. The measure needs Senate approval before becoming law, and no hand shake deal exists between chambers. The bill would legalize table games at slot casinos, increase resort licenses from two to four, raise resort slot caps from 500 to 600, and restore a ban on political contributions by casino executives and investors after the court struck it down.
