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.
It’s good news for those 800 employees. The recent cold snap however reminds consumers that EVs have a long way to go to be considered reliable. I think I’ll stick to the proven internal combustion engine.
Since you’re no longer living in IL, you can probably stick with that strategy. For us suckers still living here, Pritzker will likely make it more and more undesirable to drive an ICE vehicle; e.g., crazy-high gas prices, registration fees, etc. (not to be confused with the current, crazy-high gas prices and registration fees). That’ll cause more IL residents to relocate instead of being forced to buy an expensive EV.
