Mayor Lori Lightfoot at the start of the school year blamed the problems on mass resignations of bus drivers in protest of the city’s vaccine mandate; As CPS vendors, they’re also covered by the mandate. But those resignations only took out 73 bus drivers. CPS already knew at that point that there was an overall shortage of more than 400 drivers.
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.
Some bootlick at CPS bungles the transportation plan, blaming a 400 driver shortage on 73 drivers! Oh! It’s Covid related! Undoubtedly somebody’s cousin or………a footwell girlfriend.
