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 you leave Illinois make sure you stick your hand out the window and give it the finger as you leave.
Pritzker is polishing up his “carnival barkers” speech. He may need it if anybody actually pays attention to these figures.
These are hard and factual numbers that have been reported. How can the average person believe this is a good direction the state has been moving toward. There are some that are so excited when they get something for free, such as government living. Once people make that choice we limit our ability to better yourself.

They cheer when you leave. The progressives running the state don’t care. They hate you. They’re not driven by money or greed or care for their fellow man.

There is a HUGE pension time bomb going off right now. Let the greedy government workers eat each other for lunch. The rest of the hard-working honest families will have left for greener pastures.
