Farmers are some of the most old-school business people of all time.
So it's like Indiana has always been able to say that we do good business, but now it's actually being shown.
Years and years and years of Illinois' government trying to put something together for the Chicago Bears to stay there.
All changes and gets an answer quickly because I think it took them like two months, Indiana, to kind of piece this deal together.
Don't blame them.
We want you.
And it's not even โ and people are saying the Indiana taxpayers are not going to pay the bill.
It's like, nah.
The way it's drawn up, from our understanding, the governor told us, is that area basically is going to have taxes on food, hotels, casino.
That money is what's going to be used to pay it all back.
But Indiana has certainly given billions to kind of front this entire thing.
They're betting on the long-term investment.
They'll still be able to get the taxes.
And I think long-term, the Bears are going to be able to make a lot of revenue.
If this works out how it should, how Governor Braun and the team at Indiana, the state government put together, this should be beneficial to both states.
are both kind of entities here, and hopefully we'll see if that's the case.
But Indiana getting another team is crazy.
That sucks.
Chicago Bears coming to Indiana is insane, but it is like it's only 20 minutes down the road.
The way they describe it, it's like we're trying to create the area, you know, because that whole area calls themselves Chicago anyways.
