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.
Fifteen minutes after the huge infusion is received they’ll cry broke.
If Illinois gets $15B from the feds for roads and bridges then will the license plate and gas taxes be reduced. We had a $45B boondoggle passed for roads and so far the roads seem to be in worse shape.More money out of my pocket. Reduce our taxes by $15B ASAP. P.S. Use less corrosive road salts and bridges & autos will last longer.
