Lincoln Tomb Facing Budget Cuts-- Part 1

From the April 16, 2015, Chicago Tribune "After cuts, jab stings Lincoln caretakers" by Kerry Lester.

The National Geographic magazine gave the caretakers of Abraham Lincoln's tomb in Springfield, Illinois an unflattering critique which did not amuse them.  Plus, Illinois' financial problems, caused by years of overspending and plus underfunding have caused huge problems at the historic site, just as it was in the spotlight due to the events of 150 years ago.

And, the state obviously likes to call itself the "L:and of Lincoln."

All of the commemoration that took place there in April just drew attention as Governor Bruce Rauner has proposed eliminating the state's Historic Preservation Agency, the group that manages the tomb.  He wants to roll it into another department.
