"Texas school-district officials are charged with unlawfully using public funds for electioneering.... Unfortunately, these alleged abuses aren’t unique to Texas. The Chicago Teachers Union was caught last month “partnering” with Bring Chicago Home—an advocacy group campaigning for Mayor Brandon Johnson’s failed $100 million tax-hike initiative. The group had encouraged teachers to take students out of class and “march to an early voting site” in support of the initiative. The nonprofit Illinois Policy Institute filed an ethics complaint with the school district, but Chicago officials haven’t taken meaningful action against the union."
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.
