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.
The first thing cities should do is sell their politicians (preferably to an out of state buyer like New Jersey). That should bring in some spare change. Also when the water dept is sold and are in the hands of the private sector water and sewer bills will probably skyrocket. Maybe the school unions are buying the assets thru some shell companies? Anything is possible today.
