Despite police union threat to ignore Friday’s vaccine status deadline, Mayor Lightfoot says rule will not be lifted, city warns of disciplinary action – Chicago Tribune*
Those who do not show, or don’t comply with the reporting requirement, will at some point be moved to a no-pay status. But the mayor said that won’t happen this weekend because the city will need to take time to reach out to people who aren’t in compliance and verify the situation. The mayor’s comments give the city additional wiggle room and time to avoid a full on fight with workers and police.
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.
