Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has extended his emergency powers into his second term. When the newest proclamation ends Feb. 5, Pritzker will have held emergency powers for 1,060 of 1,483 days in office, or over 70 percent of his tenure.
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.
