Among them: a proposed special transfer tax on sales of high-end residential property, the possible continuation of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s property-tax hikes and, generally, the state of the city’s tax-increment financing program.
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.
