Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is counting on tourists and residents spending more to have fun, take ride shares and stay in hotels to help plug a half-billion-dollar deficit in next year’s budget.
Even a rudimentary review of “special event” revenues and hotel tax revenues in the past makes it clear the collections from those sources will never get anywhere near what these amateur public officials are hoping for. That budget will blow up six months into the fiscal year, if not sooner.

These clowns might as well be shilling for “Sunny and Carefree Beach Holidays in the Paradise of Gaza”, lol…
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.
