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.
Unless a DOGE-type office for Illinois would be independent and have the authority to implement cost-cutting recommendations, this is just empty campaigning.
Ted Dabrowski has been saying this for months. Bailey is just doing a “Me too!”. After losing the governor race he ran against one of the only 3 Republican congressmen Illinois has, and lost. Time to move on Darren.
Jeanne Ives has been conducting a DOGE for Illinois for at the last year already.
Yup exactly
Feb 2 AM 560 from 11am to 12pm Monday thru Friday Jeanne Ives and Amy Jacobson will have there own talk show focusing on local issues and State issues.
The best thing for Illinois would be if Baily fell in the hole he keeps digging for himself so that someone else more moderate would run for Governor against Pritzker.
Would it be a flashy failure like the federal one?
BJ,
Lots of low hanging fruit/corruption in Taxistan for DOGE.
First thing I would do is tell Mikey Madigan if he cooperates his sentence will be lowered.
Watch all of the corrupt Dem rats in Taxistan run for cover!!
Like the failures of dismantling Carter’s useless Department of Education? Like the dissolving of leftist NPR? Like the elimination of NGO’s found to be squandering tax dollars and in some cases giving it to enemies of the US? Like the current child care scandal being exposed even though known about for years? Those failures? We should all fail so miserably. The only reason the jails aren’t brimming with those implicated in these hijinks is liberal, SJW judges that are keeping the grifters out of jail. That troll judge in WI that let the illegal slip away is a prime example.
