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.
I hate to contradict Kass, but in reality Martin is only slightly worse than the judges that let repeat felons out on a promise to “ do better “, repeatedly. Judge David Kelly leads that category; remember that at re- election time now that the godfather of the SafeT Act mess Evans is mercifully gone.
