What concerns Conway is the fact that the mayor’s office “thinks it’s OK to spend $50 million” on a new Greyhound station “at a time when we’re asking for more in taxes and fees amid rising costs and not implementing some of the efficiencies identified in the Ernst & Young report.”
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.
Maybe Greyhound has dropped a few extra dog biscuits in the pockets of Chicago and Cook County politicians.
Hopefully if the station ever gets finished, the posturing Conway can grab the inaugural first bus out of town.
Johnson needs to cut spending, not add to it.
There WAS a Greyhound bus station !!!
Why hasn’t Greyhound built its own station and why would the public fund it?
Why don’t the airlines build their own airport?
Greyhound previously built their own station, vacating it when the company was sold.
Great, transit is deep in the red around here and he wants it deeper and redder. Geeze.
