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.
Johnson and the CTU did not get the expected number of CTU members elected to give them the two thirds majority. So, they want to change the rules. Voters voted to elect independents to the school board rather than CTU shills that would vote Johnson’s way. Elections have consequences!
Classic Democrat move: say one thing, but also say the exact opposite thing. This is exactly the kind of crap that got us into the whole Epstein mess.
Here’s the condensed version: Johnson hires a former alderman that he said he wouldn’t hire, to lead a team of lobbyists that aren’t registered to be lobbyists, to lobby for a bill that wasn’t really a bill, just “research”. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Johnson is a CTU puppet. He should be for fiscal responsibility and Chicago students, not CTU.
