Prairie graveyard preserves rare Champaign County prairie
Tomlinson Cemetery in Champaign County is a one acre pioneer graveyard where native prairie plants survived among old headstones. Officials plan a $198000 grant backed restoration and land acquisition to expand prairie on nearby Norton property and a northern farmland swap. The site, now an Illinois Nature Preserve, remains largely secluded to protect the fragile ecosystem and graves.

The measure creates a terrorism offense, expands police wiretap powers with sunset clauses, and increases penalties for bringing a weapon onto a plane.
