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.

Both paths end up with the same outcome, higher and higher taxes paid by the private sector. Result will be more and more people leaving the state. Illinois is being destroyed from within. When someone takes too large of a slice of pie, someone else gets a smaller one.
