"Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker will set another state record if his $52.7 billion budget for 2025 is passed. He described it as 'tight' as well as 'focused and disciplined.' But it relies on $898 million in new taxes. It is nearly $13 billion more than the state budget when he took office. So, yes, it’s focused and disciplined – as much as sailors on leave."
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.
Divide the 898M amongst those who voted for Pritzger last time and see if he ever gets elected again.
If passed, we all know there’s not one politician, especially Democrats that are going to say no.
