CHICAGO – Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a U.S. Court of International Trade ruling that the tariffs imposed by President Trump and challenged by Raoul and a multistate coalition are unlawful. The tariffs include both the “reciprocal” tariffs on nearly all countries worldwide as well as separate tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China that the president claimed were justified by concerns about drug trafficking. In their ruling , a majority of the Federal Circuit concluded that the federal law the president invoked – the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) – does not authorize the president to impose these tariffs. The Federal Circuit is the latest court to conclude that these tariffs are unlawful. However, the tariffs currently remain in effect. “I am pleased with the court's decision upholding a Court of International Trade ruling that the president has acted unlawfully and exceeded

EDWARDSVILLE – A long-awaited renovation and maintenance project at the historic Leclaire water tower is about to begin the next stage: a new coat of paint and a fresh take on the wording emblazoned across the water tank. Work to refurbish the nearly century-old tower at Troy Road and Longfellow Avenue began in early August. The entire project includes painting, structural repairs and new lighting along the legs and tank catwalk that can be customized for occasions and seasons. On Tuesday, September 2, Moore Painting Co. of Alton will begin site preparations, to be followed by a thorough cleaning of the tower and then painting. To ensure the safety of the public and workers, the tower will be cordoned off, and traffic will be restricted in the immediate vicinity of the structure.
