They want to get Illinois legislators and our governor to make a counter deal to Indiana and saying that Indiana's legislature is going out of session after the 27th of February.
I think they had a negotiating session yesterday.
As I understand it, the Bears asked for a postponement today of the hearing
down in Springfield.
And, you know, Cam Buckner is a state representative who represents Soldier Field right now.
He's a good negotiator for everyday people and taxpayers.
And I'm sure that he will get his voice heard to make sure that what happens, Bears, you asked us 25 years ago to remodel Soldier Field.
We did.
And now the taxpayers still owe $500 million on that remodeling.
And you just want to walk away from that.
I really feel that's disrespectful to the taxpayers who have supported loyally the Bears for many, many years.
So I think part of the negotiation has to deal with how do you deal with the debt on Soldier Field?
How do you make sure that the deal in Arlington Heights is fair to taxpayers and that Bears have to make investments that
Don't just take advantage of everyday people.
And they're trying to use Indiana to get the best deal in Illinois for themselves.
Yeah, it's really disappointing.
Back 25 years ago, when this all came up about Soldier Field,
The Bears got a deal from the city of Chicago where they'd be able to sell the name of Soldier Field.
They were going to sell the name to a bank, Bank One, for $300 million.
That money would not go to the city or the taxpayers.
