The failure of at least 34 members of the City Council to vote to reject Johnson’s action means the first mayoral veto in 19 years will stand. There has not been a violent mass gathering of teens in Chicago since March. By contrast, there have been several in the western suburbs, according to media reports.
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.
Council members know full well not to expect anything from Homie for their precincts if they buck him.
That this dim bulb’s veto couldn’t be overridden speaks volumes about the makeup of the city council.
