Senate Bill 3963, filed in July, bans carbon sequestration activity over the federally designated sole-source of drinking water, the Mahomet Aquifer.

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.
