Republicans opposed to the measure openly expressed concerns about revenues, with state Sen. Jill Tracy taking to the House floor to openly wonder how her small Adams County home would be left to make up the $22,000 it issued in such fines as recently as last year. "That is a significant amount that somehow that county and that entity of government through their taxpayers is going to have to make up."
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.
