The director of the Illinois State Police Merit Board has asked a state appeals court to override the so-far-successful attempt by Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul to kill off a potentially politically troublesome lawsuit against a former Merit Board employee, who is accused of enlisting the help of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, his wife and his administration to further her alleged schemes to pilfer more than $500,000 in public money.
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.
