Rahimi & Grote Show · Chris Welch shares insight on Bears' megaprojects bill making progress in Illinois House (Hour 2) · 23 Apr 2026 podcast

Yes, of course.

Like, who's your guys coming up?

Come on.

that's next by the way if you want to already get your calls in 312-644-6767 but that tax and criminal funding is a is a stipulation that's in place for somebody to take advantage of as a developer but this is different because the process would be more streamlined under this measure now the reason tax and criminal funding is important is because that's something that is attached to the 78 project for example and one of the questions i was hoping to get answered is

As we understand, there is, and I think, Ray, you sent us this information, that there is a stipulation that includes the 78 and perhaps regarding the White Sox and the parcel of land that Justin Ishbia is working on, too.

Isn't that true?

Yeah, so that was part of it that we wanted to get into as well, if possible.

But yeah, it says here from Frank Calabrese, buried in the 375 Bears Stadium Amendment is a special tax incentive for Chicago rail yard megaprojects explicitly for the one central development over the tracks by Soldier Field and a White Sox stadium in South Loop.

So that was something that I was hoping to get to, but the man only has so much time.

Well, but it's not just the Bears.

You know, they may have voted against it because they don't like the fact that, like Jeff Buchholz mentioned, for example, sales tax regarding building projects.

If you're paying sales tax on construction materials and that's a significant amount, who does that benefit the most?

Is it somebody's district downstate maybe who really sees that monetary benefit from that sales tax?

Those are all questions that I think we have to understand are part of this.

It's not just as simple as bears or no bears.

I read a comparison about the House and the Senate one day to a teacup and a saucer.

The House is the teacup.

The Senate is the saucer that cools it off.

The House is where everybody's fired up.

The Senate's job is to disseminate and cool off the cauldron.
