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.
I think the analysis is overly conservative – with Amendment 1 the public employee unions and Pritzker will be looking to dramatically increase featherbedding to grow the union ranks.
