ALTON - Alton’s Black History Month Exhibit is officially open at City Hall. From Monday, Feb. 5 to Feb. 29, 2024, visitors can view the display in the lobby during City Hall’s open hours.

CHICAGO - Attorney General Kwame Raoul, as part of a bipartisan group of attorneys general, today announced a $150 million multistate settlement agreement in principle with opioid manufacturer Hikma Pharmaceuticals (Hikma) for its role in fueling the opioid crisis.
