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.
Remember, these businesses will be state-subsidized, not state-owned. As an Illinois taxpayer, that should make you feel better (LOL).
First Venice, a town long known for its only sources of revenue being strip clubs and questionable traffic tickets and now Peoria. Get ready IL taxpayers- the Marxist, give away, “ stop and steal “ stores are coming your way . Courtesy of… well, you.
You are spot on Mark, no need to give away our tax dollars to support a store that will close in 12
to 24 months. This is just a new place to steal from.
Hold on a minute. This area in Peoria sure doesn’t look like a “desert” for grocery stores.
