Once again, I know for Bears fans and for folks who care about this, this feels like it's taking forever.
But honestly, it is really the speed that these deals usually take when you go through them with a prior to call.
I told somebody recently, I said, I've spoken with the Bears more this week than my wife, as I've been down here in Springfield, which I think is an indicator that we're going in the right direction.
They have been involved.
We still have things that we have to sort out and things that we don't necessarily agree on, but this is part of the process.
It's part of the negotiation.
And once again, I choose to believe that we'll find a way to get there.
But you know I'm a Chicagoan.
I live in the city.
I represent the city.
It's important for me to make sure that Chicago is not left holding the bag in this conversation.
And so that is not actually part of this bill.
Once again, this is blanket pilot legislation that will work for companies throughout the state.
But as you can imagine, I have been on the grindstone making sure that we are doing the things that are important for Chicago.
The soldier care renovation of 2001 is one where, once again, we're still left holding the bag, and that's not okay, right?
And so we've got to find a way to deal with the sins of the past, but also to create some framework for the future.
I also, if I can jump real quick and say, you know, I think when we look at this whole thing, I know people are frustrated at how long it has taken.
You know, I just want to remind folks that buying the land in Arlington Heights
for probably $100 million more than it was worth without having a plan is not really the right way that that should have happened.
We kind of got here because of that.
