Comment: Just imagine all the press like this and ribbon cutting ceremonies Pritzker will be getting out that obscenely oversized $45 billion capital spending program, paid for mostly with regressive new taxes.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
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.

ISU Master Plan 2010-2030, page 17: “Although not yet released, state funds were appropriated in FY2010 for the creation of a new Fine Arts Complex.”
What happened to the 2010 dollars for this project? Maybe I don’t understand how govt budgets and appropriations work, but it seems like the same public works projects come up in the state budget year after year after year. Do projects not yet started just carryover yearly until the funding actually shows up? Why appropriate money for a project if the money isn’t there?

Yep, that’s how it works in IL. Keep abusing the taxpayer; then, use that money to take credit for many projects, whether or not they’re needed.
Priztker, yes you that money $62 million would have gone a long way to fund eduction in Illinois. Except no jabba the great you gave it to your well connected friends and wife. You are a disgusting piece of crap.
