Gov. JB Pritzker has been steadily acting on more than 660 bills sent to him by the General Assembly this year ahead of a weekend deadline for bill action. Thus far, the governor has issued three vetoes and two amendatory vetoes, including one on the budget bill that needed the amendatory action because of omitted effective dates.
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.
