COLLINSVILLE — The Collinsville Police Department on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, issued a warning about individuals posing as Ameren utility workers who are attempting to scam residents by going door-to-door in the city. The Collinsville Police said that it had received several reports about the issues. Other police departments in the area have also recently issued a similar warning to their residents. According to the Collinsville Police, these imposters may claim that immediate repairs, such as tree limb trimming or removal, are necessary and try to gain entry into homes under false pretenses. The department cautioned residents to be alert for signs of fraud, including the absence of official Ameren identification badges and unmarked vehicles, as well as high-pressure tactics demanding immediate access to properties.

EAST ST. LOUIS – State Senator Christopher Belt announced that over $4.5 million in state grant funding has been awarded to support clean energy development and workforce initiatives across the 57th Senate District. “With the state moving full speed ahead on green energy, it’s only right that our communities receive the support we need to be part of that future,” said Belt (D-Swansea). “We’re not asking for special treatment — just our fair share.” The Equitable Energy Future Grant Program delivers seed and pre-development funding to equity-eligible contractors, nonprofits and cooperatives working on renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in low-income and historically disadvantaged communities. The program is a critical part of the state’s work to expand access to clean energy while reducing systemic barriers to development. Five projects in Belt’s district received a combined $4.58 million in funding, including:

ALTON - Local kids have a trusted adult, a sense of community, and improved grades thanks to a new tutoring program. Patricia Brown, a paraprofessional at East Elementary School and founder of Bright Beautiful Minds Tutoring Academy, realized that many of the kids living at Alton Acres and Oakwood Estates would benefit from the educational and social boosts of tutoring. She started her own tutoring program to refresh them on basic concepts and help them create a “school family.” “It’s letting them know that they are important and that we believe in them,” Brown said. “You’re not a product of your environment. You can be whatever you want to be.” Brown is a commissioner with the Alton Housing Authority. When she learned the Alton Housing Authority was planning to discontinue a tutoring program due to lack of participation, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She knocked on every door, found volunteers, and invited kids
