Despite other proposals to change the state constitution, such as to amend the pension protection clause, create a nonpartisan legislative map-making commission, or impose term limits, only one constitutional amendment is set to be in front of voters in November, and that’s the proposal to change Illinois’ flat income tax to a structure with higher rates on higher earners. That passed the General Assembly along party lines last year.
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.
