With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

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.
We simply can’t have Ms. Crabtree take one of her 124 banked sick days.
There are two classes of people. Those that Marxists favor and everyone else.
Does anyone in springfied know or care what this bill is going to cost school districts? Another bill created and pushed thru springfield by local unions where local school districts & municipalities will pick up the cost but are left out of the process.
Also, I’d be shocked if all the other state & local gov unions aren’t pushing for a similar deal in about 2 seconds flat.
Just give the teachers 11 months off a year.
That’s what it’s coming to.
Here come the lawsuits
So someone who is vaccinated and gets Covid can get sick days but if you are not vaccinated and get Covid you will not. I thought that being fully vaxxed (definition of which changes daily) means you can’t get Covid or at the very least a mild case and did not need to social distance or wear masks even though you have an outdated vaccine card and ever changing vaccine status. Does the card have a waning effect and start disappearing like the photo in Back to the Future?
It’s virtue signaling codified into law.
Springfield is going to go completely batsh crazy in next year if a Republican wins as governor. They’re going to pass some of the craziest virtue signaling legislation in the country hoping that they can override the veto and embarrass him. You’d best strap in because things are going to get really, really weird.
So they claw back any sick days already used? Gee, I wonder how that will be verified? Let me guess, the teacher simply says any sick time taken in the last two years was Covid related and magically they get the time back? The teachers that haven’t taken any sick time will learn a valuable lesson I suppose.
