University of Chicago Law Professor Craig Futterman said the hacked emails show the disconnect between Lightfoot’s reform rhetoric and her actual policy platforms. “Overall, they continue to reveal an attitude of the highest level of the administration that isn’t one that’s embracing reform, but one that is most concerned with ‘how do we look’ and actually what they reveal is a lot of behind the scenes, ‘what can we do to thwart reform?’ ”
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.
