"Policymakers in 40 states debated 111 educational choice bills—79 percent of which related to ESAs...For all of the progress in school choice this year, Illinois killing its scholarship tax credit program was a huge step backward. Billionaire governor JB Pritzker (who attended a private boarding school that costs $64,800 per year) cut off the scholarships for almost 10,000 low-income students."
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.
