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.
And how will my buddy, JB, celebrate after spending the bribe money from the other JB in DC? . My bet is that state employees will be granted more pension benefits. Don’t worry, it’s free money from the pension fairy.
They don’t want to use it to pay down debt. Just look at JBs “reopen schools” plan as one small example. Creates administrative costs every step of the way which will just sink us further into pension debt. Shame on Bloomberg for even pretending that IL is serious about it.
Is there anyone who actually believes this?
