Illinois ranked 14th worst in the nation, an analysis of state road infrastructure found. Illinois has 20% of its roads ranked non-acceptable and 12% of bridges in poor condition by Federal Highway Administration standards. But the state came in third from last when the analysis looked at what portion of transportation dollars Illinois spends on fixing existing roads.
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.
