There's a political aspect of this, too.
Sometimes people just want to cause trouble.
And I think you've seen that with the Chicago Teachers Union, the most powerful political organization in Chicago.
Sometimes they just want to cause trouble, be it for the governor.
Sometimes they think it's good politics to say, why are we helping out a multibillion dollar organization when property taxpayers can't get relief and gas prices are up and energy prices are up?
And by the way, that was a real political conundrum here that the bears didn't quite understand was that they thought were the bears.
Everyone loves us.
And so everyone's going to want to make sure we stay in Illinois.
Poll after poll saw that, you know, the vast majority of people said not on on the taxpayer dime.
And and and lawmakers kept telling me, look.
constituents come up to me and say, help me with my gas prices, help me with my energy costs, help me with my rent, help me with my property tax payments.
So I think the bears miscalculated the political reality that they were going to have to do more work than they did to persuade people because.
Because of this reality, because people are we're in a climate where people don't want their tax dollars given away to to big organizations and because individual costs are so high right now.
So politics plays a part in this policy, plays a part in this.
But those bears conversations with the city of Chicago, again, multiple people in the governor's office, in Senator Cunningham's office.
There were multiple conversations with the city of Chicago.
Absolutely was real.
Yeah.
No, these are great questions, Molly, and these are questions that lawmakers were asking all weekend.
How are they not here?
