With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

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.
Highest taxes and have to go even higher. Still do not have the change of a nickel, flat A$$ broke. Pensions are eating up more and more of the budget every year and it will keep increasing for generations. People are fleeing in record numbers and could not be happier to leave. The only good jobs left are in the public sector, the private sector is going elsewhere in record numbers.
Fees are too high in Illinois, too. Look at the recent, giant increase in highway tolls.
The increase in tolls is just another way to tax suburban taxpayers to support Chicago.
But according to union grifter PPF there is plenty of headroom to keep raising taxes even higher in Chicago/Taxistan!!
