Illinois House Rejects Bears Stadium Proposal, Pritzker Rejects Taxpayer Funding

The Illinois House failed to pass a measure to keep the Bears in the state, prompting Governor J.B. Pritzker to refuse using taxpayer money to fund the move.

The Illinois House failed to pass a measure to keep the Bears in the state, leaving the door open for the team to move to Indiana. Governor J.B. Pritzker stated he was unwilling to "foist" billions in taxpayer money onto residents to support a billionaire-owned family.

The Bears had been evaluating options in Arlington Heights and Indiana, though analysts suggest Indiana may be leverage. If the Bears leave, it will be a significant loss for Illinois. grenadier.co.za
