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.
The malfeasance and corruption in IL is exhausting. It would be best if IL Government were significantly downsized – just outsource all of it to India.
Ya out source it to India then we can call it Ali baba and the 40 thieves
Can any government agency, whether federal or state level, provide an explanation as to who organized and perpetrated this fraud? Was it a foreign government, a high tech crime ring, a group of merry pranksters? Why isn’t this a priority and why don’t we hear about it, other than a talking head on the news that periodically tells us authorities continue to investigate? It reeks of negligence and conspiracy.
$2 billion? I would take the over…
That would be a smart bet. The latest national estimate from the Dept. of Labor is 163 billion. Illinois’ share based on population wold be about $6.5 billion.
All Trump’s fault too, as they tell us.
