-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
Audio and summary 
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.
What about this for a headline-
Pensions are in a better shape but taxpayers wallets are anorexic.
Really irresponsible of the Tribune to publish this AP article the way it did, making it look like the report says something positive about IL.
<Investment riding a bubble> reaches best shape since <last bubble>
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Is this the Onion?!?!?!!?!? Here’s a few alternate headlines:
“Illinois now only owes $325B”
“Illinois now owes less than New Jersey, per taxpayer”
“At this rate, Illinois will now fully fund pensions by your great great great grandchild’s 10th birthday”
“After claiming victory over unfunded pensions, Gov Pritzker claims both mansions uninhabitable”
