And just to reset and let you know again, we have it for Matt Hill, who is on J.B.

Pritzker's communication staff, that the Bears were the ones who called for the cancellation or at least the postponement.

There is a difference between a cancellation and a postponement.

At least a pause to the hearing that was scheduled this morning to make further tweaks to an infrastructure bill that was supposed to give the Bears about $900 million, give or take, to support the infrastructure for the construction of Arlington Heights.

We are committed to finish the remaining sites specific necessary due diligence to support our vision to build a world-class stadium near the Wolf Lake area in Hammond, Indiana.

They went on to support the governor and the speaker and senators.

And now there is this from Capital Facts, who is a very popular account that follows Illinois politics, reports on the state proceedings.

And they have this update.
