EDWARDSVILLE — Madison County State’s Attorney Tom Haine announced that yesterday Circuit Judge Thomas Cunnington, Chief Judge of the 21st Judicial Circuit, issued his ruling in the case of Rowe, et al., v. Pritzker, et al. Judge Cunnington ruled in favor of the Plaintiffs and held the Pre-Trial Fairness Act, specifically the bail reform and pretrial release provisions, unconstitutional. The immediate net effect of this ruling is that the pre-trial release provisions and bail reform will not go into effect in the 65 counties that were party to the lawsuit, which includes Madison County. The other provisions of the Safe-T Act, such as body cameras, training, etc., were upheld.

JERSEYVILLE - “The Cave,” a CBD, Delta 8, and vape store with locations in Alton, Fairview Heights, and Wood River, has officially opened for business in Jerseyville. The new store is located at 610 S. State St., near the intersection of highways 67 and 109. Manager Nathan Badman said the new location officially opened Wednesday, Dec. 14, and has been praised by Jerseyville residents who no longer have to drive out of town for their favorite Cave products. “The reason we wanted to put it up in Jerseyville is that nobody else was up there,” Badman said. “We figured that the people in Jerseyvile have to drive 30-35 minutes to the closest smoke shop, and so why not put one there right in the middle of Jerseyville, right? “We’ve been getting good reviews since we’ve been open - a lot of people saying that exact thing, ‘We’re so glad that you’re open up here, we don’t have to drive all the way to Alton now.’”
