Comment: Mr. Hertz, formerly with the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, last year authored an op-ed in the Chicago Sun-Times calling for a progressive increase in the real estate transfer tax, which we wrote about here.
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.
No doubt Hertz is looking to “create” revenue for his new department.
