“If the lottery provides $10 to the school fund, state officials have two choices: they can either spend that much more money on schools, or they can lower the contribution from the general fund by $10,” said Christopher Mooney, a political science professor at the University of Illinois Chicago. “Illinois officials have taken the second approach.”
They’ve been perpetrating this slight-of-hand since the beginning of the lottery. Sold it to the public to help school funding, but instead it supports more spending from the general fund.
Typical bait n’ switch from government (not confined to any level of government).
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.

Stupid chickens.
