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.
Isn’t it nice that Ill ‘n’ Noise is in such good shape that we can spend taxpayers’ money on a new flag design?
Pritzger flag company has submitted the best design and lowest price
How about just a flag showing a bunch of sheep being shorn. Or better yet, slaves working for their dem masters. Or maybe just a white flag, with a big fecal stain on it.
Utter trash. Leave the one that Illinois has. There is nothing wrong with it, unlike the state.
Using only one star looks like we’re ripping off the Texas flag. None of these designs seem really iconic but I could live with #6 or even #8, provided the sun in #8 were changed to more of an orange color (matching the U of I colors).
I am surprised that the one of the silhouette of Lincoln did not have a a silhouette of Chocolate Jesus staring back at him.
I would be ok with that as long a it had Lincoln saying to him “I didn’t take a bullet to the head for you to divide the country again”
Another step one the road to a monolithic, faceless socialist/ Marxist/ communist society. A bland, uninteresting banner with one big star to symbolize how the state rules and the individual is nothing, easy to be ingrained in one’s mind while they gamble or smoke their lives away. MN recently adopted one that looks like the flag of Somalia; which tribal nation will IL copy?
I do like the idea of one big, blue star in some of these. Represents a one-party state. The rest should be yellow, representing the state’s cowardice about facing up to its problems.
