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.
Now Guttman finally sees the light and shuts down the free candy store after giving it away for seven years and hurts the usual “ Gimmie More!” greedy, clutching suspects fragile feelings. Too little, too late Trust Fund- if you don’t get voted out people are going to leave IL in droves and let you feed on those unintelligent enough to keep you in office.
Rational, thinking people have had with you, your corrupt cronies and your enabling of lazy parasites.
Quite enjoyed the Maltese Falcon reference. Sidney Greenstreet is an apt comparison except Sidney had talent!

Why doesn’t he try throwing around “Hope and Change”? That worked pretty well for Obama, unless he Trademarked the term.

Pritzker is a sugar daddy.
There once was a party so sunny,
That governed with other folks’ money.
The bonds tumbled down,
Still they painted the town—
Now it’s “No credit, no honey.”
