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.
Oh yeah! That will work wonders for morale!
Jaywalkers and sidewalk spitters beware!
Liberal Dem Socialist Fascists repsonse: “Let them eat cake”
Why would the police stick their necks out preventing violent crimes when if they use appropriate and justified force they can be prosecuted in sent to prison. There is no such thing as perfect 100% information and decision making re: violent thugs.
Lori is seething after a very public spanking by her dear friends at CTU. Time to kick the dog! Nothing more! She must lash out at something or someone. I wonder if she beats her wife?
Well, Lightfoot could start by firing deadbeat Brown…
Yes she could! But then she will just hire another boot licking, tushy smooching, tough talking, do nothing, finger in the wind, thrower of cops under the bus, yes man or yes woman to do her bidding. She needs to hire a real cop and work real hard to get Toni, Kim and Tom out of anything dealing with justice.
Oh, it’s an election year.
Have to get the masses hating on the big bad ‘law and order’ Republicans via the Popo.
It reminds folks how team R has ruined IL all these generations.
Team R? You are either seriously misinformed or outright delusional!
More arrests, that’s cute. State Attorney Foxxs’ staff rejects more cases than approves and places impossible hurdles to jump over in many felony cases. CPD is loaded with nepotism appointed leaders and race based promoted exempts who are never going to be removed from their positions. The old shuffling of the deck chairs will occur, again, and nothing will change. Accountability is not in the vocabulary of the anointed ones.
CPD Officers, under the microscope of constant criticism…
Public demands to defund & eventually eliminate them…
Undermined at every level by the local *just-us* system…
Insulted in the media by the mayor…
Thrown under the bus by their own leadership…
Worked liked plow horses, cancelled days off, 12hr shifts, forced overtime…
NOW…
The city administration thinks these same Officers will risk their freedom & safety by *doing whatever it takes* to control the crime they let get out of control & even enabled…?!?!???
I think not…
Police have mostly gone fetal and for good reason too. Who wants their name on the front page of the newspaper website, and seemingly never ending protests, for just doing their job?
Can’t get in trouble if you “dog”it
