The top priorities for those representing the Chicago area on Capitol Hill include pardons for nonviolent offenders, including former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., cracking down on Chinese trade policies and solidifying legal protections for immigrants who might otherwise get caught up in mass deportations promised by Donald Trump. Other Illinois lawmakers want Congress to deal with the so-called debt ceiling.
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.
Headline should read, “Dems can’t steal enough before Trump stops them.”
