Mayor Lori Lightfoot defends website shaming budget naysayers: ‘Since when is letting voters and residents know how aldermen voted bullying?’ – Chicago Tribune
The mayor’s committee launched the shaming website last week, prompting criticism from aldermen and political observers, including the Sun-Times editorial board, which compared Lightfoot’s move to bullying.
First term Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez, 33rd, told WTTW-Ch. 11, “We don’t have time to engage in petty discussions or arguments. We have work to do, and that’s what we’re going to do.”
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.
