Old Sparky’ possible tourist attraction

LINCOLN, Neb. – Residents of a small southwest Nebraska town have a question for state officials: You’re not doing anything with that old electric chair, are you?

Corrections department spokeswoman Connie Nemec says there are no immediate plans to move the chair.
