Since the venue opened Sept. 9, the temporary casino has brought in between $694,913 and $778,964 per month in local tax revenue, according to Illinois Gaming Board data, about a quarter of what it needs to generate to keep up with budget projections, and a fifth of Bally's more ambitious target.
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.
Free parking? Now that’s laughable. Some clout heavy politicians family member needs to run a parking biz so free ain’t never going to happen.
If no free parking, with visible armed security guards, not going ever. The same with anything at the Wintrust Arena near McCormick Place.
