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.
I am certain that in all 67 counties on the poverty watch list the local government employees are prospering. Bust AFSCME, SEIU and IFT/CTU.
It’s the 67 counties that vote red and many are 2nd amendment sanctuary counties. Hence, the state has purposely abandoned them and provides virtually no representation in state government. And as a result, they are all poor.
Can confirm, my county (Crawford) fits all those criteria.
