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.
Lookin good Zippy! That solves all the problems!
He will continue to take advantage of this and all else until we recall him(?) or vote him GONE and put someone in to help this city for a change!!
He does not use taxpayer funds, he uses CTU funds.
And the CTU derives their funds from the taxpayer. It’s not like they produce anything to sell at a profit or have stock market holdings. The members take their salary, paid by the taxpayers, and are strongarmed into giving them to the CTU.

Uses campaign funds to pay for make up and hair cuts. $36K over 2 years. I am sure those that contributed to his campaign are happy to pay the “fair wage” to his hair stylist. What a joke.
