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.
In my downstate utopia school district elections can be described as very low turnout elections. Obviously the majority of the voters choose to sit out the elections and let a small minority make their decisions for them. I can only assume that the school situation is exactly what the citizenry wants. My views are a polar opposite, but as always, I am always outvoted.
At least you understand the problem is voter apathy and not because the elections are “rigged” as many people here like to pretend. Like you, other voters in my area vote differently than what I would like but I accept the outcome of elections and not blame some random boogeyman.
What exactly gave you the impression that anybody in Illinois leadership ever gave a crap about parents or taxpayers? Think about it. It’s a serious question.
