ALTON - Residents in the Metro East region of Illinois experienced varying visibility conditions due to fog that developed overnight, primarily affecting areas within five to ten miles of the Mississippi River. National Weather Service in St. Louis Meteorologist Jayson Gosselin noted that the clearing of clouds from west to east allowed for low-level moisture to linger, contributing to the formation of fog in specific areas. In Alton, near the Mississippi River, the fog was very difficult for motorists. The fog was not uniformly widespread, but found primarily in river valleys, the meteorologist said. For instance, southeastern St. Clair County reported minimal fog presence. Gosselin explained that dew point measurements, which indicate the amount of water vapor in the air, played a significant role in this phenomenon. "When the temperature hits the dew point, saturation occurs, leading to cloud formation. Fog is essentially a cloud that forms just above the surface," he said. Visibility

CHICAGO - Attorney General Kwame Raoul, as part of a coalition of 18 attorneys general, filed an amicus brief supporting a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rule prohibiting noncompete clauses – provisions that restrict employees’ ability to work for or start competing businesses after leaving their current jobs – in employment contracts nationwide. In April 2024, the FTC issued the final Noncompete Clause Rule , which bars employers from including noncompete clauses in new employment contracts and renders most existing noncompete clauses unenforceable. In publishing the rule, the FTC explained that noncompete clauses depress worker wages, create legal hurdles for employees looking to grow their careers and undermine economic innovation and growth by trapping individuals in their jobs. “Noncompete clauses unfairly prevent millions of workers from getting higher-paying jobs that allow them to better provide for themselves and their families. They also
