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.
Rich Miller is like captain Renault in Casablanca: “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Here’s advice Miller: Crawl back under the Rich Miller rock until fat boy Pritzker tells you what to say.
Not Rich Miller: Patronage at the State of Illinois and local units of government in Illinois benefited Madigan when he became unrivaled Statehouse king – not Chicago Sun-Times.
The Illinois Public Sector Defined Benefit State and Local Ponzi Scheme Pensions and Retiree Healthcare Paid First.
Costs at regulated utilities are a perfect setup for the likes of Madigan. Impose costs and they just go in the rate charged consumers…in other words another backdoor tax, extortion if you will, on Illinois citizenry. As another poster here would say that “it is the will of the people…they voted for it.
Of course Mikey benefited.
Another corrupt P_S Illinois Dem!!
