Matt Paprocki, of the Illinois Policy Institute: "Advisory questions in Palatine, Lemont, Homer, Palos, Winfield, Antioch, Leyden, Wheeling and Addison townships gauge opinions on public pension reform, unfunded state mandates and fair maps — state issues lawmakers have too long ignored or aggravated. Suburban lawmakers should listen to the voices of the nearly 650,000 constituents who will weigh-in on these popular reform ideas."
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.
