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.
Wait. Pritzker wants to eliminate townships? What’s the catch?
The county takes on the responsibilities and you hire the township workers, who were mostly part time as need, you provide better pay insurance, retirement, county vehicles, etc. costing taxpayers more so Big P can say he’s cut back and savings money, and people have to go through red tape to get anything done!
Just conjecture, I have not researched, but i assume there are more R leaning townships. They have not been gerrymandered.
The only way suburbs get services is through the townships. Cook county provides services to Chicago, not suburbs.
It won’t happen unless made mandatory. We need something like the federal base closing commission that worked well for selecting military bases to close. Pass a mandate to close or consolidate X townships and Y school districts.
