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.
Time and again Pritzker and Democrats have shown no actual concern for the affordability issues that average citizens face. Raising taxes, and fees, and causing higher energy costs is what Pritzker and Democrats have done. Affordability is not a concern of Democrats.
Illinois repubs should blast this on media decrying this robbery of tips.

Give me something or someone to get excited about.
