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.
The way you limit them is vote the Ds out. Then pass real legislation to help this state.
Good luck with that. The new maps make the legislature D+10 in nearly every seat and creates 6 new districts with D+ leanings with no incumbent for the sole purpose of making sure 6 Republicans lose their seats. We’d need a R+25 environment (to overcome the already D+ bias in IL) for any of these safe seats to flip. Voters in Nov would need to go crazy town and just vote straight R down ballot in record numbers and I just dont see that happening in IL. It will be a close for Irvin in Nov if he actually wins.
It’s long PAST time for the governor to relinquish his dictatorial powers.
LONG PAST.
