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.
Stealing MONEY that’s for road construction to bail out the transportation system. Adding insult to injury he drops the riders funding share 50% and RAISES the Tollway fees and again gears the raise in tolls to INFLATION like his tax on gasoline!!!
Because Pritzker and every politician in the state house are and belong to the unions. I have to finally agree it’s time to leave Illinois, sad but true.
So JB Chumley reduces the amount of money that the riders ( a large portion that are homeless or criminals that never paid a fare in their lives anyway)have to pony up to keep the dirty, unsafe rolling crime wave afloat and guess who gets to make up for it with twice yearly gas tax increases. I’m surprised IL taxpayers rear ends don’t hurt so much that they can’t sit down without a chair cushion.
