Oak Lawn Mayor Sandra Bury accuses State Rep. Bob Rita, gaming industry interests of seeking to knock down village’s new ‘push tax’ on video gaming machines – Chicago Tribune
Oak Lawn’s push tax, seen as an innovative way of generating revenue without raising property taxes, is expected to bring in more than $1 million annually for the village and has the potential to spread “like a virus” to other cash-strapped communities across the state, Bury said.
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.
