Pritzker rejects billions in tax money for Bears stadium

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker stated Monday that he was unwilling to "foist" billions of dollars in taxpayer money onto residents to keep the Chicago Bears in the state. The legislature failed to pass the necessary measure, leaving the door open for the team to relocate to Indiana.

"We're not going to foist this on the taxpayers of the state of Illinois," Pritzker said. "I wasn’t willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money in order to give it to a billionaire-owned family." The Bears have been evaluating options in Arlington Heights and Indiana as the stadium bill stalled. mieszalniakolorado.pl
