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.
It’s repulsive that the ONLY topic coming out of the mouths of elected officials is about various tax increases. Not a word spoken about fixing the problems that put the state in basically what could be considered bankruptcy. This whole infrastructure tax nonsense will only hurt the lower income earners. Someone living pay check to pay check will find it very difficult to cough up twice as much for plate renewal, driver’s license renewal and then the add’l tax (also doubled) on filling up the tank. Shame on these lawmakers. Enough is enough. It’s time to move.
