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.
Shouldn’t the sheriff’s office be explicitly involved in monitoring criminals? I wonder if the same liberal judges that loved the Safe-T act will just be waiving this monitoring requirement and sending people on their way in the name of compassion for the criminal, and at great risk for the citizens. I am all for consolidating needless government, but yielding to yet another tornado of liberal ideology does not seem like the best solution for the safety of our communities. These policies are not reducing crime, as evidenced by Chicago’s #1 spot on homicides for 13 years in a row.
If anything, this article is good example of how it’s next to impossible to implement even small changes in Illinois municipal gov. Or merging of Illinois CRAZY 9,000 units of gov, especially now that Amend 1 is passed.
