"Chicago’s self-inflicted failures, from its already-high taxes and cost of living to its inability, or, more accurately, unwillingness, to get a handle on crime to encouraging illegal immigration, have put it in the budget hole it sees now. Chicago’s 'solutions' are either unnecessary, self-destructive, or both, so long as those other problems go unaddressed."
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.
