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.
Children learned more and did better in school when these counties had one room school houses at the beginning of the last century.
When you scare away conservative-leaning students from a profession, you’re left with a liberal pool of workers who don’t want to work in rural areas. This is a feature, not a bug.
Spot on nixit.
Sorry, even tho IL tax burden is and has been among the top 3 of all US states, there is little money for services as a result of public sector Tier 1 pensions/medical.
Our political class refuses to even talk about Tier 1 pensions, let alone reform them as other states have. In fact, last year, our legislators imposed a extra constitutional amendment (Amendment 1) to protect them.
