Speaker Welch - Get Your Facts Straight - Indiana will pay their portion of investment in the stadium by taxes collected on ticket, food, and merchandise sales at the site of the Bears stadium. There's no extra taxes on IN residents. They have done this for 40 years with their other stadium deals. Meanwhile, your party, that's been in charge in Chicago for almost 100 years, still hasn't paid their portion of the Bears stadium improvements. You're terrible at managing money- admit it now.
While Indiana is willing to raise taxes and promise $1 billion in taxpayer funds, Illinois has focused on the needs of working families who want relief at the gas pump, at the store, and on their insurance bills-not taxpayer-funded stadiums. Illinois remains open to ongoing efforts to secure the Bears in Illinois.
