With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

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.
It “…isn’t right”. That’s all Mr. Msall has at this point?
Everything in this city “isn’t right”.
What’s next, the Civic Federation paying for an orchestra to play “Nearer My God to Thee” outside CPS headquarters?
I don’t think much of Msall or his organization but at least he spoke out! Very out of character. Maybe somebody absconded with the windsock.
Msall went into more detail in the civic federation report and expressed his opposition to the 5% property tax increase request. Most of his reports just repeat what he previously has proposed, “consolidation, reduce spending, etc”. It falls on deaf ears and nothing changes.

Hmmmm………CPS fearful of the blowback from school vouchers decision. Grab now before the obvious occurs! It’s for the children? No, it’s for the teachers!
