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.
Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
Whatever they are smoking I want to buy some.
Follow the money.
What a waste of resources. Building more space for entertainment venues? For who? Everyone leaves before 5 that doesn’t want to get mugged or car jacked. Will the ridership on the pink line pay for the new station? There used to be a cost-benefit analysis done before millions were thrown at projects. No more as long as grifters get their grift. The definition of stupid is continuing to do the same thing over and over and over and over and over again and expect a different outcome. Or more concisely the definition of stupidity is Chicago administration.
