Mayor Lori Lightfoot has picked Bally’s to build a $1.7 billion casino and resort at the Tribune Publishing site at Chicago Avenue and Halsted Street in River West. She still needs City Council and the Illinois Gaming Board to sign off on the company.
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.
Throw in a women’s clinic and a cannabis dispensary and it’ll be a one-stop tourism site!
Will there be metal detectors at the entrances?
Gun sniffing dogs?
They’ll have their own morgue and triage center. It will be fabulous! The best care available, dead or alive.
