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.
2+2=5 yes
He had a congressman write a not to the federal government suggesting that the state needs extra money over and above the Covid event. The pension money SHOULD NOT be included in any money that the state if Illinois receives. Illinois is corrupt in many ways.
So any money that the state receives in the form of the bailout won’t go to pensions? No problem. They will just use bailout out money for other expenses and just use tax dollars they collect within the state for pensions. You can’t fill up one side of a bathtub.
What if the state took the pension bailout money anyways but used it for other things, like raises for state employees? That’s not out of the realm of possibilities either. These people can’t be trusted.
