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.
Somebody’s gonna have to support a state with one of the largest welfare recipient populations in the country. And that was pre- 600K “ new neighbors “.
Your local school teacher needs that $100k a year pension. The superintentendent in my neighborhood retired several years back, and gets $200k+ a year for life
No, no, you don’t understand. It’s not about need. They earned their pensions because they have a contract.
Shocking, the Illinois Black Hole!!
I left Taxistan over 20 years ago and my bank account is now $200K fatter because of lower property, income, sales, gas, etc. taxes.
Wake up Illinoisans and vote with your feet and leave this corrupt Big Blue state!!
