Illinois has seen the fifth-worst decrease in terms of total revenue in the country, losing more than $2.4 billion from 2019 to 2021, bringing in under $600 million projected in 2021 versus more than $3 billion in 2019. In terms of percentage of the revenue lost, Illinois has seen the fifth-largest decrease with 80.2%.
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.
