Sheila Weinberg, of Truth in Accounting: "Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza is touting a huge decrease in the state’s backlog of unpaid bills as a 'remarkable' achievement, citing her office’s 'daily diligent management' of cash flow. This would be like me bragging about reducing my credit-card debt after I took out loans to pay down my balances and received an unexpected bonus."
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.
