While Secretary of State offices are reopening with the downturn in the Omicron variant, Illinoisans have no such assurances about reopening the state. Gov. JB Pritzker declared a 22nd consecutive state of emergency for Illinois in January; He has signed more than 100 executive orders into law in that time.
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.
