With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

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.
Hope no ones house catches fire.
Yeah, this state has its priorities straight.
Gee, it sure would be nice to have the money Henyard squandered on hair weaves, trips to Vegas, hiring relatives/ boyfriends and a 165K SUV (!) right about now. If IL only had an AG that investigated such things…
Henyard was mayor of Dolton. But your point about investigating thievery is valid.
My bad. I thought Henyard was also an administrator for Harvey township, but in reality it was Thornton. I do recall a female mayor of color in Harvey giving herself a whopping ( 60K?) raise for her last year in office. Certainly helped her pension, I’ll bet. I also recall the “ chicken wings delivered through one door and out another “ scandal, approximately worth 1M, in the Harvey school lunch program. Must be something in the water in the south suburbs.
Chicago is next.
Time to move out of town if you haven’t already.
