No damage here except for a few limbs down around the neighborhood.

October 12, 2012 (SPRINGFIELD, Ill.) -- The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services is canceling plans to lay off 375 employees.

Lee Enterprises' newspapers report that DCFS Director Richard Calica (KAL'-ihk-uh) announced the move in a memo to staff Thursday.

The agency says it will be working with state lawmakers to restore some funding to the department. DCFS says it also will pursue a reorganization plan that will reduce staffing while also trying to avoid layoffs.

Faced with severe budget strains, Illinois lawmakers approved a $50 million cut in the agency's funding for the new fiscal year. That led to plans for layoffs at DCFS this month.

Anders Lindall of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees says DCFS employees are "extremely relieved" that the agency has changed course.

VANCOUVER, WA (KPTV) -

A prank that started with a few thrown tomatoes now has Vancouver police on alert.

Officers are investigating letters left at the homes of Democrats throughout the city, according to a notice sent to neighborhood association leaders.

The author of the letters admits to throwing tomatoes at houses that have Obama signs in the front yard. The tomato tossing occurred in the middle of the night.

It all started months ago at the headquarters for Clark County Democrats, according to treasurer Marsha Manning.
