Good morning. It's Tuesday, Nov. 28. In our top story, we take a look at how a proposal in the state Legislature to implement a one-year freeze on new construction projects at state universities and colleges could affect UCF, among others.

And finally, the Orlando Sentinel Foodie Awards are coming up again. You can vote here.
