Recently, Illinois lawmakers have asked Gov. Pritzker to call the legislature in for a special session to share elected leaders’ input on the COVID-19 mitigation strategies. Pritzker, when asked today about a special session, said he is always open to input on how to bring down the spread of COVID, but declined to call a special session.
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.
