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.
Some of the highest taxes and still broke. Just where is all the money going to?
Not to roads or infrastructure. Oh I forgot Illinois government workers make some of the highest wages in the country, when you include benefits and pensions only god can afford it.
This is a great Number One accomplishment for JB and the Democrats. If the Repubs are smart they will run a ton of TV ads nationally when the Dems have their convention in Chicago and hammer away on some of these obscene Illinois statistics. Outside of Illinois few voters really follow what is going on here, so the opportunity for torpedoing JB– and Biden– is outstanding.
