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.
The professor emiritus’ SURS pension is $121,716.
The pension ruling from the ILSC was 7-0. 4 D’s and 3 R’s. It was unanimous. Zero disagreement. The ILSC ruling for retiree benefits (Kanerva) was 6-1, with the only dissent coming from a democrat. But sure, electing republicans will help. Too funny.
Somehow I think the professor knows this but is spreading this line to help garner support from fellow public employees to turn out for democratic judges. At a certain point, voters that fall for this stuff have no one but themselves to blame.
And Biden was against abortion before he was for it; same for gay marriage, student loan forgiveness and crack-cocaine laws. Elected officials see which way the wind is blowing.
These republicans will be better than the last ones. I promise. Just give us another chance. This time it will be different Charlie Brown.
Hahahahaha!!!
Do your thing, downstate county clerks. In a democracy, every vote counts, even the unpostmarked ballots lacking signatures arriving up to 14 days after election day. They must be counted. And to not count those late arriving duplicate absentee straight republican ticket ballots from nursing homes, elementary schools and cemeteries, makes you a racist.
