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 question is How many people will be able to stay in their homes because of the excessively high property taxes in Rockford?

For a long time you paid more in taxes than the mortgage but now both are high. Not a good scenario.
