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 is sad that clueless politicians can’t figure out what tax payers are telling them when their referendums for increased taxes a voted down. Their thoughts immediately go to, “how else can we tax them for the money”. The fire district, library district and park district have tried numerous times to raise taxes for projects they think are pretty this week. Once explained to the tax payer…these increases are voted down…only to reappear on the next voting round with a different name and smaller price. Once tax payers say no…accept it and move on.
