Letter To The Editor: Letter Writer Says In 2024 Officials Need To Show Dream, Vision, To Make Difference

Letter To The Editor: Upon exiting the Clark Bridge and entering Alton, the sign reads: "Welcome to Alton - Population 28,000." What it should say is "Welcome to Alton - the city of vacant lots, damaged streets, and lack of home ownership."

During a podcast they jointly host, the brothers spoke through tears about how Super Bowl LVII was more than just a game to them. “You’re crying after the game, and they’re not tears of sadness. They’re tears of joy,” Jason said. Jason said the moment he got really emotional was the moment he saw his mom, Donna. There were countless headlines about the fact that
