Jim Dey: "Prosecutors and defense lawyers in the corruption case of former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan want to stick with the Oct. 8 trial date. Beyond that, issues remain up in the air in the aftermath of a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that narrowed the federal bribery statute in a way that benefits Madigan."
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.
Certainly enough time to scare up a wheelchair and an oxygen tank with mask so as to put the “ too old for a prison sentence “ narrative into play.
