Jim Dey: "Ironically, the largest of the state’s five districts had the smallest number of detention order appeals. District 1 consists of the heavily populated, crime-ridden Cook County. Between Sept. 18 and Dec. 31, just 161 jailed inmates appealed. (Champaign County State’s Attorney Julia) Rietz suggested the number is low because Cook County prosecutors are not pressing the detention issue. If so, that would be consistent with Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s controversial reputation. Champaign County is included in the sprawling Fifth District, which saw 394 detention appeals during the September/December period."
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.
And this should come as a surprise? incompetent morons running it and ruining it in the process.
