Hopkins Park Mayor Mark Hodge said access to natural gas will likely bring economic opportunity. He hopes a closed manufacturing plant will soon get a new occupant. "It's still good structure, good roof, and it's able to be occupied, but nobody wanted to mess with it because it's too much to heat it, too much for electric, too much for propane."
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.
Better hurry up before natural gas is outlawed across the land.
