The end of federal COVID money could mean a 43% reduction in city spending for domestic violence aid as fatal attacks jump. Mayor Brandon Johnson has tied future funding for programs to his proposed corporate head tax, which faces City Council opposition.
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.
Sounds about right for City of Chicago leaders: don’t reduce the massive bloat; just cut funding for needed programs.
Because in Pinheads eyes these aren’t crimes.
