"Suddenly, JB Pritzker was in danger of becoming the man who let the Chicago Bears, an Illinois institution, leave the state for the first time in 106 years of existence. For a man who hopes to eye a presidential run in the future, that is a political black eye he could not afford."

Audio and summary
Remember, kids, Illinois is flat broke. Destitute. Yet JB the Hutt has confiscated taxpayer cash to dole out to a multi-billion-dollar sports franchise.
Illinois elects its dumbest.
dumb or greedy/corrupt?
Yes.
The Bears are in a pickle. Of course they want a free stadium, just not in Indiana. Their fan base is predominantly north and northwest suburban. They did the fan surveys; it’s unpopular among their season ticket holders.
Bears would be fools to stay in Illinois, a deal this year and what about next. Remember this is Illinois the screw you state.
Count me in as being completely tired of this Bears story.
The Bears are leaving Chicago . Just a matter of AH OR INDIANA NOW .
Indiana will pay for the stadium and all the surrounding infrastructure. The bears would be likely to pay little or no taxes and then they could spend that extra money on the team and not the state of Illinois. Can the Bears trust JB to cut those AH taxes? I am not sure I would trust a handshake with that man or any other elected rep in Illinois.
BJ Pritzker would steal the coins off a dead persons eyes! The idiot has no moral compass.
JB the Hutt already does. If the late chumbolone failed to offshore their funds like The Hutt does and their estate exceeds $4 million, even by a penny, the entire pile of coins over the decedent’s eyes is taxed.
