By contrast, the 326-acre Arlington Park property, home to a racetrack that recently shut down, would give the Bears the option to join with developers to add shopping, dining, entertainment and so forth.
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.
