A bill at the Illinois statehouse would have reduced the tax rate on nursing homes from 25% of their market value to 10% but was vetoed by Gov. JB Pritzker over fears of raising property taxes on residents of Cook County. The measure could be addressed when lawmakers return for the final three days of veto session beginning Nov. 7.
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.
