I've got some good news and some bad news for December inflation: The good news is that CPI inflation was negative in December. Prices were down 0.9% from their level in November. Sadly, the core CPI went up a little bit and now stands at 3.7% on an annualized basis. This is still not a ...continue reading "Inflation went negative in December"

CHICAGO – Attorney General Kwame Raoul today filed an amicus brief supporting the federal government in two cases before the U.S. Supreme Court concerning the Biden administration’s targeted cancelation of student loan debt to address the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In doing so, Raoul joined a coalition of 22 attorneys general in arguing that the debt relief program is lawful and appropriate. Last year, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona announced plans to grant $10,000 in debt relief for borrowers under certain income thresholds, and $20,000 in debt relief to borrowers who met those income thresholds and also received a Pell Grant in college. This debt relief seeks to ensure that borrowers affected by the pandemic do not face catastrophic defaults at the conclusion of a nearly three-year pause in loan repayment obligations. “Higher education should be within reach for all Illinoisans without the fear that they will be saddled with lifelong

EDWARDSVILLE - Sophomore guard Zay Hoover is emerging as a key component to the girls' basketball team at Edwardsville High, and played a key role in the Tigers' 39-25 win over Belleville West on Jan. 10, scoring 12 points in the win that took Edwardsville to 8-9 on the season. Hoover is currently averaging 4.6 points and 1.6 rebounds-per-game, going along with nine assists, seven steals and three blocked shots, also helping to play good defense in the win over the Maroons. In a postgame interview that followed the win over West, Hoover was very happy to get the victory. "I'm glad we were able to pull out the win," she said. The Tigers didn't enjoy a very good shooting night, missing several shots, but the defense helped gain the win, which was very satisfying indeed. "I was really proud of myself," Hoover said, "because usually, I'm not very aggressive on defense. So today, my goal was to attack the offensive players so I could get some steals and contribute to my team defensively."

The stuffed potato from South America Bakery (4279 Keaton Crossing Boulevard, O'Fallon; 636-477-6688) is less a creative interpretation of a spud and more a feat of culinary majesty — one that would feel equally on brand billed as a deconstructed-reconstructed "baked potato" at an avant garde temple to molecular gastronomy as it does as a humble snack at a fast-casual O'Fallon strip-mall storefront. At first glance, this stunning tuber presents as a baked potato in shape, size and color. However, a closer look reveals that it is actually a lightly fried russet-shaped fritter composed of fluffy mashed potatoes that have been fashioned to look like its original form.
