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.
Chicago won’t allow video gambling but wants the money. If they want the money, allow video gambling. Typical of Chicago. They see money, they want it.
I did not process that the city restaurants and bars did not have video gaming, but now realize they do not. And the state makes over $800 million a year from suburbs and downstate? Obviously a lot of that money is going to Chicago, as they control the state legislatures. They understand that only the uneducated and addicted use these terminals. They are protecting the huge population of such people in the city, while preying on these populations in the suburbs and downstate. What unethical trolls.
