    Unlikely allies rally for road construction funding BY BRIAN MACKEY, Lincoln Courier, IL
    On a makeshift dais in front of an Abraham Lincoln statue were an unusual coalition of administration officials, labor leaders and business advocates. Mike Zahn, business manager of Operating Engineers Local 965, kicked off the rally.

    'As I was working my way through the crowd to get up here today, I ran into laborers talking to Chamber of Commerce members ... I ran into carpenters talking to pavement contractors ... I ran into Teamsters talking with members of the Municipal League,' Zahn said.
