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.
Although I voted No on the advisory question today, I don’t really care if Illinois’s mostly Democrat voting millionaires are taxed at a higher rate. My job is not to protect the primarily wealthy Democrats in the state. Their corporations don’t support our candidates, and they actively support every DEI initiative available, to your exclusion. Not my problem.
The proposed referendum is nothing more than a bait and switch. There is no reason whatsoever to trust the evil Pritzker regime. He is after significantly more of your hard earned money. No one should be confused by his promises, and the referendum should be voted down by a greater majority than last time.
JB just wants to sneak in progressive tax that was voted down.
