Chicago’s parking meter system raked in another $138.7 million in 2019. Four underground city-owned parking garages took in $34.8 million, and the privatized Chicago Skyway generated just under $92 million in cash. And not a penny of those revenues went to ease the burden on Chicago taxpayers.
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.
“And not a penny of those revenues went to ease the burden on Chicago taxpayers.”
Well as long as the Daley family got theirs, who cares?
This is great news for the Chicago voters…they voted for this.
Now imagine what will happen when the city tries to run Arlington race track.
