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 education system is all about money for adults. Great pay, great benefits, huge pensions at young ages. Education is not even on the list. The administrators milk the job for everything they can get. Make more money than most everyone could ever dream of. Pensions that Start at over $175,000 per year at age 50. Total cost well over $10,000,000 to the taxpayers. Most take the money out of state to live the good life where taxes are not so high.
Wirepoints has been documenting that excess for years, but Tribune and other media ignored us.
Because the Illinois media is a bunch of pussies when reporting against Illinois governmental waste.
