In response to questions about the apparent contradiction, a Pritzker spokesman maintained that “GardaWorld had no contractual right to payment.” Nevertheless, the state agreed to pay the company because “the situation evolved." A $1.3 million payment to GardaWorld was tucked into the recently approved $55 billion state spending plan being sent to Pritzker’s desk. Neither Pritzker’s office nor officials with the state Human Services Department would explain why the state agreed to pay if it was under no legal obligation to do so.
We have a budget shortfall the democrats claim so we have to raise taxes. Meanwhile let’s give away few million here a few million there. Wake up folks, democrats can’t tie their shoes and they are allowed to be in a public office running things.

Once again, JB’s business acumen shines through. Any bets on an autopen working overtime in Springrad?
If JB the Hutt was involved in this directly, the tab would have been $5.2 million, and he’d take credit for the income taxes the state would collect on that.
The Hutt had to have paid someone to take the Bar for him. Most Northwestern-educated lawyers aren’t this stupid.

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.
