EDWARDSVILLE – Edwardsville is the latest Riverbend community to establish its own 1% sales tax on groceries to offset major revenue loss as the state’s grocery tax expires.

Isaiah Stueckel was recognized during the Alton Community Unit School District #11 Board of Education meeting on May 20, 2025, for his accomplishments. Al Womack, a Board of Education member and director of the Alton Boys and Girls Club, introduced Stueckel as “an outstanding young man.” “I’ve been at the Boys and Girls Club for over a decade now, 12 years, and it’s really just changed my life,” Stueckel said.
