Lawmakers Vote on Bears Stadium Bills Thursday

Illinois and Indiana lawmakers are set to vote on stadium bills Thursday, aiming to keep the Chicago Bears in their respective states.

Illinois lawmakers will hear a revised stadium bill Thursday morning, offering tax breaks to entice the Bears to Arlington Heights. Governor Pritzker emphasized he will not let the team fleece taxpayers.

Indiana's full Senate is expected to pass its bill Thursday to fund a stadium in Hammond. Both legislatures could vote on both proposals simultaneously as Chicago remains a contender.
