Brad Weisenstein, of the Illinois Policy Institute: "They introduced 6,745 bills during the legislative session that ran from January until May 31. Of those, 3,859 clever lawmaker ideas came with costs because they changed how the state operates. Those taxpayer liabilities were all but unknown because lawmakers only bothered to ask for the price tags on 10 of those bills."
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.
6,745 bills are a clear indication that lawmakers are drunk on power.
