Mayor Lori Lightfoot boasts that she’s the first Chicago mayor to begin tackling the problem of removing almost 400,000 lead service lines in the city but her administration has fallen behind its own modest goals of replacements. As of Monday, lead lines in 183 homes were replaced under the low-income “equity” program. Another 34 homeowners paid for replacements.
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.
Hmmm……so is Lori going to provide water filters made of lead? Sounds about right.
