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.
Welcome Tribune to the same censorship world of everyone else who isn’t’ part of the Pravda media. Maybe Tribune can kowtow some more and get into the tyrant’s good graces. Look to Rich Miller for the acceptable fealty.
“Ethically dubious” means the Democrats are doing something illegal and they don’t want to be on the record lying about it.
“Ethically dubious” describes so much of Illinois, Cook County and Chicago politics.
Reminiscent of LL’s “Keep Chicago out of your mouth “ admonition. Maybe it’s a Dem thing.
The state capital must be such a dismal place.
It sure is. Always has been IMO. Everybody you run into is looking at everybody else and kind of asking, what’s your racket? Who is paying you? How could I grease you? It’s like a filthy can full of worms, grubs, snakes and insects.
This is we’re the Tribune reporter needs to file a lawsuit, Springfields shenanigans need to stop.

Looks like Illinois House Speaker Welch is taking pointers from Chairman Xi and his pal Putin.
Wow, from the Tribune. From Rick Pearson even. Maybe they are hearing the criticisms of how they ignore what’s wrong in Springfield.
I doubt it Mark. It’s more like the Trib is thinking “we’ve been covering for your illegal activities for decades, and now you’re shunning us”.
Yeah, I suppose you are right. And it’s only when their own reporter gets cut off that they complain. Meanwhile, the massive government censorship complex has gone unchecked and they’ve never said a word about that.
