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.
When will taxpayers organize and bargain??? Public contracts are done behind closed doors without any taxpayer input. None of our elected or should I say mostly self elected officials are not allowed in the negotiating process. From the governor on down/media they cannot be in the negotiating room and we as taxpayers do not get to see the specifics till the contract is voted and ratified by members but have to abide by the outcome. Till taxpayers organize and even unionize we are only individuals without a collective/unified voice. Our government seems to only listen to those that are organized.
Organized and contributing to election campaigns … they get the attention.
