Jim Nowlan: "In addition to beating on ourselves for so long about our negatives, a self-fulfilling prophecy, we simply have never — never-ever — thought about our future...I cannot find a single illustration of Illinois ever having done any comprehensive, long-term thinking. There is, for sure, much thinking about metropolitan Chicago, but not about the state, which has different functions from local governments."
Interesting blah from Kankakee…the home of once jailed Governor Ryan.

It is quite a telling point that the author of this article has a biography which claims that he worked for three un-indicted governors. Just because they were un-indicted does not mean that they were not corrupt. Corruption starts at the top and Illinois is the number one state in the nation for having ex governors in jail for criminal acts and corrupt activities as governor. So, please excuse me if I join the crowd who do not give a whit about the future of this state. It has no future except for more corruption.

Illinois needs a song and central planning, because it’s just in our minds that Illinois is losing population faster than any other state and owes hundreds of billions of trillions of dollars it has no way to pay.
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.
