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.
$750K…for a WHAT? A floating art museum and woodshop class on the chicago river? PrOgram after prOgram of waste, patronage hires and corruption. How does this crap get through the budget process without someone saying, “wait a minute – this sounds stupid!” So many of these absolute joke of “grants” make no sense to the public and tax payer. What a waste of tax dollars that the majority of the citizens of Illinois will never-ever see. If Chicago wants it…let them pay for it.
It’s a slush fund to Democrat supporters. They loot the government.
