This is from Hannah Adamson, the Fox 59 and CBS 4 Indy Statehouse reporter.

The Colts have weighed in.

The Colts on the Chicago Bears tentative plan to relocate to Hammond, Indiana.

Quote, we wish the Bears all the best on their stadium initiative.

End quote.

Is that like wishing somebody well in their future endeavors?

Well, I think if they had protested, that would have given some pause to the situation.

That would have stopped the freight train.

Because they also have a publicly funded by the state of Indiana stadium in Lucas Oil.

Well, apparently the freight train, according to Hannah Adamson, has a stop in Hammond because she says the city of Hammond, Indiana, will hold a press conference at 3 p.m.

local time.

So that's in 30 minutes because that's Eastern time.

No, Hammond is central.

Okay, so 3 p.m.

local time regarding a tentative plan to bring the Chicago Bears to the area.

That's that old sneaky split state time zone deal.

Central, we're assuming.

pep rally feel if i'm being honest that's that's my fear here and as a reset we know that part of the new taxes in indiana state bill 27 senate bill 27 that would support a bear stadium in indiana a 12 stadium ticket tax a five percent lake county innkeepers tax so that's hotel tax a potential one percent food and beverage tax in lake and porter counties

And that there's also been other discussions surrounding the toll roads and perhaps them helping fund this project.

So there does sound like there would be new charges to residents for this project.
