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.
Reminds me of George H W Bush in 1988 when he said Read My Lips. No New Tax’s. He was partly telling the truth as there will be no new tax’s like if you have 6 toes on each foot or taxing long fingernails/etc. But every tax that’s on the books can be raised because they are OLD tax’s not new. Typical political doublespeak.
Bush was not elected for a 2nd term. Preckwinkle will be county board president until she strokes out at her desk because she’s the chairwoman of the local D party and everyone in Cook County votes D.
