State Sen. Napoleon Harris III also has accepted at least $60,000 overall from the insurance industry since the beginning of last year, state elections board records show. That includes $10,000 from the Allstate Insurance Company, $7,500 from State Farm Insurance, $6,000 from Cigna and $1,500 from the political arm of the Illinois Life and Health Insurance Council that had been involved in talks over Pritzker’s legislation this year.
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.
