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.
Jelly Bean doesn’t have many options. He is finding out just how hard governing can be. As the Governor of a fiscal disaster, every choice is a tough one. His nickname will be “One Term” soon enough.
That’s wishful thinking. Every low information voter I meet thinks he’s “keeping us safe”. and the reality when the inner city Chicago districts report their votes late into the night in November 2022, it will be just enough votes to give him the win… I may never trust another election again.
How can people really think he is keeping us safe are people that naive, god help us all.
Honest people now only have one option with voting in Illinois. Voting with their feet at so many have already done.
Can you please be easy on him? It is his first job afterall… He has never worked before.
Disagree. Pat Quinn who was a disgrace as a governor ran against Bill Bradley. Quinn had so much baggage and anti Quinn sentiment that it appeared his days were numbered. He lost 99 of the 102 state counties but beat Bradley 90% to 10% in Cook/County/Chicago and won by around 15,000 votes and called it a mandate of the citizens. Pigster could commit a murder on live TV and he’d get elected anyway.
