With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Audio and summary 
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.
The Kingfish is right. Not a peep from Melman though.
The restaurant owners in the Chicago Metro region need to organize and stand together in defiance of the boycott. There is strength in numbers, the state doesn’t have the resources to enforce the ban on a large scale and assuming the diners patronize the restaurants in large numbers, further enforcement will become politically unfeasable. Stand up and fight.
Stand up to tyranny. The data doesn’t support JB’s diktats… If we, as a people, don’t stand up to these fools and fight, we are no better than the sheep on their way to slaughter.
How do we stand up? Vote. Vote for the candidates who support our constitution – the one that declares all people as equal – and declares equal OPPORTUNITY – not equal outcome.
The founders and all of those folks who died for our liberty would be disgusted by what we have become.
Agree except voting is not going to do it. Tyranny moving too fast and too few politicos who SHOULD be ending this are not. Limited help from courts too overall.
Individuals, restaurants and other businesses have to keep on keeping on and say “Damn the torpedoes…we’re not HAVING it!!”
Amid soaring rates of restaurants running out of money to stay in business
If you want your business to survive then move to Indiana.
And as usual politicians look to drain more cash from the citizens which is the only thing they ever consider.
Have to wonder what exactly does the director of community preservation and development do.Each one of these cities,towns,villages have way too many titled clowns on taxpayer payrolls.
Don’t forget school districts also
I think Fla. educates more k12 students with about the same amount of schools as IL.But they have 67 districts we have 800.Makes sense if you are a superintendent knocking down a cool quarter million on the backs of taxpayers.
