Illinois, Indiana Lawmakers Consider Bears Stadium Bills Thursday

In Illinois, a House committee hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning to discuss tax breaks aimed at luring the Bears to Arlington Heights. Governor JB Pritzker has emphasized that taxpayers should not be fleeced during negotiations.

Meanwhile, Indiana's full Senate is expected to pass its version of the bill to fund a stadium in Hammond. Both legislatures could vote on their respective measures Thursday, even as Chicago technically remains in the running.
