With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

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.
They really believe that the parents/taxpayers are idiots who will praise them to the heavens for dropping crumbs to the peons.
Wow! Considering that the $400K home pays approx $9,750 in property taxes and probably 55% of that or $5,364 is allocated to the schools that savings equals a 5.5% reduction. Every 10 years that home pays at least $53K in school taxes regardless if they have kids using the schools.
I would like to see that and other school districts address the administrative bloat first which could reduce taxes a lot more. I wonder how many asst supers, asst principals/etc they have?
