Voting in St. Louis just got a bit more convenient. The city’s election board on Monday announced more than 70 polling locations in addition to city-wide vote centers for the November general election.

EDWARDSVILLE - Edwardsville Township Supervisor Kevin Hall had a very positive reaction to the Eighth Annual Saturday Touch-A-Truck event . A day full of sunlight awaited children in Edwardsville’s Township Community Park for the big day.

"Hopefully not but one day if they have to use one of the vehicles, then hopefully they will not be scared as they might be since they have been up close to one in the past.” At promptly 10 a.m. the event kicked off with a helicopter landing as the township's yearly Touch-A-Truck event took on the day.

Edwardsville Arts Center board members and other volunteers provide a herculean effort each year for the Art Fair and the

I learned today that the average net worth of a household in the bottom 50% set a record last quarter of $67,000. That's good to hear. Except for one thing: Total net worth for all households has gone up 7x since 1990. So a record doesn't mean much unless that record is at least 7x ...continue reading "Raw data: Net worth of the poor, the middle class, and the rich"
