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.
For Chicago and Illinois, let’s have leaders who have little-to-no financial skills making financial decisions. With that in place, no one should be surprised that Chicago and Illinois are in the dismal financial shape they’re in. Oh, and let’s add some greed and corruption to complete our recipe for disaster.
Thank you, Mary Pat, for your insights and analysis.
Thanks for the kind words!
Great work Mary Pat Campbell
Going, going, gone!!!
This is total unsustainable
The rich who pay taxes are leaving, the poor immigrants are replacing them.
I do not see this ending well.
