With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

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.
Stacey Gates sure does know how to live the good life. Lots of money for nice houses, cars, and private schools. She is going to get a huge public pension to boot.
“We will respond to the House Committee on Education and Workforce and cooperate with any legitimate requests,” Want to bet Gates will consider none of these requests legitimate and that when they do respond they will drag their feet and provide incomplete information?
The CTU is too wrapped up in ‘Gangsta’ to do anything lawful – expect just more incomplete gobbledegook. The CTU, like Chicago and IL, is still being run from a shoebox – that’s how Democrats like it.
Audits need to be done by an independent Accounting Firm to provide full transparency and accuracy. CTU will provide filtered information that makes them look good…nothing else will be provided or seen. It’s a step, but likely a corrupt manipulated process. Ask EY to do a complete audit of the CTU and provide the report to Congress…then you get real information.
But not until they get back from Australia
I’m gonna go with a heavily redacted/ proofread thing that would make the Brothers Grimm take pause. Transparency! Not.
Do you really think CTU is going to provide all the information the committee wants? They don’t even provide it to their members. This is also a couple of years worth of documentation. How long will it take to accumulate and provide these figures? CTU can just wait until the Dems take back the House and then it will be forgotten.
I’m not betting the farm on a disaster happening that quickly.
