Hours after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Suzanne Swierc shared two thoughts on her private Facebook page — that the killing of the right-wing activist was wrong, and that his death reflected “the violence, fear and hatred he sowed.” The post upended her life. Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita soon obtained a screenshot of the post […]
GODFREY – “Once again, due to some bad apples, I’m in a position where I need to send out a press release cautioning Godfrey homeowners to be wary of door-to-door solicitation,” says Mayor Mike McCormick. “I would like to remind our residents that all door-to-door solicitors must be vetted and approved through the Village of Godfrey.” There are only two approved companies currently permitted, ClearWave Fiber and Clae Solutions. These permits are due to expire on Saturday, 9/27. Properly permitted solicitors are equipped with laminated photo I.D. badges provided by the Village of Godfrey. Before the sales pitch starts, you are advised to ask to see proof of a valid Godfrey-issued permit. If he or she is unable to provide proof, ask the solicitor to leave your property and do yourself and your neighbors a favor by calling the non-emergency number to reach a Madison County Sheriff’s Deputy. That number is (618) 692-4433. As always,

Ameren is alerting customers in Missouri and Illinois about a growing solar panel where callers and door-to-door solicitors are impersonating company representatives.
These scammers often claim to be affiliated with Ameren or one of its vendors, offering to install solar panels to reduce monthly energy bills. They use fake phone numbers and automated calls to make their pitches and frequently attempt to schedule in-home appointments.
The group, in part, called on Francis Howell officials to investigate the matter and implement "long-overdue" anti-racism education, training and "accountability measures."
