Letter To The Editor: Meaning Of Rusty Wheat's Chain Gang

1 week 5 days ago
Letter To The Editor: I have performed clean-up efforts in Edwardsville, Alton, East Alton, Wood River, Roxana, and Bethalto (please check my public post under Rusty Wheat on Facebook) and each time I have my Chain gang signs out for public view, I use the county issued IDOT orange bags to draw attention.
