The report — which was finalized in 2021 but long kept secret by Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration — blames three city officials who were involved over poor planning for the implosion of the nearly 400-feet-tall chimney at the old Crawford coal-fired power plant. Only one of the city officials has been reprimanded; Another has since been promoted.
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.
Government always gives promotions for nonperformance.
