With a sudden influx of temporary federal, state and philanthropic pandemic relief funding came an opportunity to move away from an already-stressed emergency housing system to what advocates say is a more dignified and effective one. Those same advocates, however, say the new system is on the edge of a fiscal cliff as federal COVID-19 response funding dries up.
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.
Listening about fiscal cliffs in IL is about as common as listening about shootings, armed robberies, and carjackings in Chicago.
