Brad Weisenstein, of the Illinois Policy Institute: "Now union bosses and even some media claim there’s nothing about property taxes in Amendment 1, the so-called “Workers’ Rights Amendment” at the top of the ballot Nov. 8. But what the heck ever happens when government unions gain power in Illinois? Does government get any cheaper?"
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.
