I'm not setting any deadlines.

I'm not in charge of this situation.

I want to make that clear.

I'm not speaking for the state of Indiana.

They have great negotiators that are doing a great job.

I'm just telling you as the mayor of Hammond that at a certain point,

We've got to be either chosen or get off the storyline.

Because, you know, there's people that are just saying malicious things about our city.

And at a certain point, you know, it's not positive anymore.

I think this whole experience has been real positive.

Don't get me wrong.

Everybody in the Chicagoland area knows exactly where Hammond, Indiana is right now.

And I used to have to explain where Hammond is.

So there's been things that changed.

I think that this month of June is a lot of time.

I think the Bears hopefully can make a decision by the end of the month.

But if they don't, it's not like I'm walking away.

I think it's plenty of time personally.
