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.
Meanwhile, in other news, Milwaukee is apparently swirling the drain, preparing for a bankruptcy.

Christopher earns this morning’s ‘What a hoot!’ award.
On the one hand, Christopher writes, “…choose Chicago because it is an amazing city with award-winning restaurants, vibrant neighborhoods, world-class universities, robust infrastructure, gritty workers and a reasonable cost of living.”
However, in his very next paragraph, Christopher tells us, “…vital individuals increasingly are looking to set down roots elsewhere as they seek safer streets, lower taxes and better-functioning local government.”
If Christopher’s first judgement was accurate, his second conclusion wouldn’t be a problem.
“Although I did not vote for you,”
LOL – that means you’re the enemy, and he will tax you until you leave, and allow criminals to terrorize you and your family. This incompetent moron is going to turn Chicago into an Johannesburg or Caracas before his third term begins.
Never knew the titanic could sink twice
Good for him for speaking up. And where are the rest of Chicago’s business leaders? Hiding in their country clubs or off in their Wisconsin and Michigan retreats? A major cause of the collapse of our business community is the gutless white business leaders who see no evil and hear no evil.
There are few business leaders in Chicago. The outspoken ones are criticized as racist, the rest probably don’t even live in the city limits any more. Nearly all of them are planning their exit.
Any business that can operate with just phones and computers can leave tomorrow
