Audio and summary 
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.
Not sure where this article published, but should definitely be in op ed sections of Trib and Times. Vallas was only candidate in years from either party for any office that had substantial policies for many IL and Chicago problems. He highlights all the issues. Yet, voters had this one change to elect him, yet rejected him. He was also rejected when he ran for governor. So, yes, the voters didn’t listen and get what they deserve.
And the voters who showed up elected Mayor Cliff Notes instead of Paul Vallas.
Shame.
