Sen. Durbin does not support taxpayers paying for some of the Chicago Bears’ new stadium – WJBC (Bloomington)

“I’m a big Bears fan,” U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin said. “But, you know, when these people make all this money, the value of their team goes up by billions of dollars. For them to turn around and say to the taxpayers,’ Now you foot the bill for some fancy new luxury box,’ which you as a taxpayer would never be able to afford."

Wow! Durbin actually came out with a position I agree with. His wacky, hard left, nutty environmental positions, greeny giveaways, Judiciary Committee buffoonery and immigrant loving behavior of late is disastrous. But when he was an Illinois legislature Springfield guy, and then a lowly Congressman, he was actually on acceptable moderate. Maybe with his comments on the Bears he is revealing there is a little bit of the old guy left even though he has been 100 percent co-opted by the DC crowd.
