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.
“The ideas that one of her colleagues had been wearing a wire was disappointing.” Apparently, that was more disappointing than knowing her colleague may have committed a crime.
If they are doing things that they should not maybe they will have to take up swimming so they do their colluding and bribing between laps. Hard to wear a wire in the pool.
“State Rep. Elizabeth Hernandez, D-Cicero, said the idea that one of her colleagues had been wearing a wire was disappointing.”
Great quote. She’s not welcoming the rooting out of corruption; she’s disappointed that she might get caught.
Really goes along with what you were saying the other day about the state legislature attracting dullards. A smart politician would measure her words better. Alas, this is Illinois.
