Leila Rahimi

Sorry, we're a little late.

We want to remind you that Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, the governor of the state from 2009 to 2015, is going to join us to talk about this issue.

And we got some breaking news on the Bears stadium and the the meeting that wasn't that is affecting everybody this morning in Springfield.

It was scheduled by the Revenue and Finance Committee for 8 a.m.

This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score, by the way.

We appreciate you joining us.

And I just hope everybody's not wasting our time.

Matt Hill just posted this on Twitter.

He is the deputy chief of staff for communications to Governor Pritzker.

Illinois was ready to move this bill forward, he says, at 9-11 a.m.

After a productive three-hour meeting yesterday, the Bears leaders requested the ILGA pause the hearing to make further tweaks to the bill.

This morning, we were surprised to see a statement lauding Indiana and ignoring Illinois.

You're serious about leaving town because you did this all out of order.

And at this point, your dog and pony show either needs to be real or it needs to stop wasting time and therefore money because you've got an empty plot of land in Arlington Heights that has been sitting vacant for three years.

And you're not a real estate investment trust.

So what do you want to do here?

You decided that you wanted to cancel this meeting, bears, that according to the state information that we get, that according to Governor Pritzker's office.

So what's your plan now?

Do you have a statement from the bears talking about this, Marshall?

What's the latest from the bears?
