-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
Audio and summary 
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.
“Far South Side, where property tax revenue has been stagnant or declining for many years — a reminder of the legacy left by modern segregation”
Modern segregation? As in “midcentury modern”, which was 60+ years ago.
a useful rail system has one 600 mpg maglev and one slower like 200 mpg for local traffic over every interstate like 80, 70, 57, 55, yes im talking super mega gigga project. that is what a modern “Roosevelt” would do. I’ve traveled the European trains and they are fast super fast and you can’t even tell you are moving unless you look outside.
Another giveaway to the greedy unions
With
1. the advent of work from home; and
2. the descent of Chicago public transit (and Chicago in general) into a crime clusterf*ck,

It needs to be either significantly scaled back — or scrapped altogether — and replaced with a model that isn’t based on outmoded 20th century assumptions.
Yes, this hugely expensive project on the backs of taxpayers seems ill-conceived, unless you evaluate it from the perspective of public unions.
The correct word is “redistribution.”
