With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Afghanistan would be an improvement, no US casualties there this year, zero, nada.
Update, 60 shot and still counting! Is it any wonder Lori is guarded by a regiment? Ain’t safe! Will she separate the security detail from CPD? It’s big enough for militia designation! Special uniforms too. Lori will walk the battlements dressed like Duce in a fez hat.. Lori will just go on pretending everything is just fine, Chicago is open; let’s have fun. Nostalgia at its best! We’ll play duck and cover.
Please remind me which if any of our political and civic “leaders” support law and order?
So much for Lightfoot/Brown most recent initiative towards crime-fighting. Big oops.
55 shot, o match 55+ cops now assigned to Lightfoot’s personal protection-squad? Lightfoot has equivalent of entire north-side district assigned to her Logan Square block. Crime rages in Chicago, and our mayor, who otherwise hates cops, who equates “equity” with “crime-tolerance”, is nonetheless barricaded behind a wall of cops. What a sanctimonious hypocrite. Taxpayers should be outraged. Trib should be headlining that story.
“who equates “equity” with “crime-tolerance””
That’s a good way of describing it.
