We are happy to have on Vinny Rotino.

Vinny, how are you?

That is House Speaker Chris Welch.

This is Rahima Harrison Brody on 104.3 The Score.

Valiant Hall had State Senator Bill Cunningham on earlier.

And we are listening to what he had to say because...

Something about it wasn't right.

We knew that, and now we're hearing it about the Bears stadium, not just from the state Senate, but also from other legislatures and also our callers.

312-644-6767 is our number.

So let's continue, Marshall, listening to what Cunningham had to say because he explained why this didn't go well over the weekend at the Senate before the legislative session ended.

Here's what he said about...

Arlington Heights specifically, and how the Bears don't necessarily need state help in order to get the job done.

He also said, and this is a good reminder, there is nothing stopping them from building this stadium, and there hasn't been since they bought the land outright.

They have the rights to the land.

The thing that is stopping them... Joe Mansueto shows you it is that simple.

Tom Ricketts showed you it is that simple.

We know why they're not building, but that's why they need the help, which is why they have to ask.

And again, this is a bill that the governor wanted to see passed because 38 other states have it.

But at the same time, they didn't do the due diligence first.

And that's why they're in this position.
