None of the four big ones is locked up: legalizing the sale of marijuana for recreational use, authorizing betting on sports, enacting the first big capital program in a decade and, above all, approving and sending to voters the governor's signature plan to implement a graduated income tax. Sports betting seems to be in the best shape to get passed and marijuana the worst.
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.
