marc ganis was on the score and he’s either carrying serious water for the bears or is really concerned about the beloved moving to indiana.

he claims there was a change in george’s tone about the indiana option at the last owner’s meeting and that he (ganis) can’t understand why speaker welch hasn’t at least had a vote on the arlington heights option given what a great deal it would be for the state in comparison to what others are having to pony up these days.

there was also some speculation that george could get some serious heat from the stadium committee to take the indiana deal so the public trough keeps growing.

Reportedly could be floor vote in house Wednesday

However the teachers union and Brandon are trying throw up roadblocks.

The city should still get a cut if they keep the name “Chicago” Bears.*

Because Brandon still thinks he can keep the Bears in the city

And the CTU is backing Brandon

Either that or they want their exorbitant cut.

While Indiana is far from the preferable spot if they keep preventing the Bears from moving to AH they’ll lose any leverage they have.

It’s just terribly misguided, but not surprising for the shitshow the city is especially in Springfield and par for the course example of why JB is fed up with the mayor’s office

Part of me hopes they go to Indiana just to spite that idiot*

I’m sure the Bears are getting just as much of an earful from their monied season ticket holders from the city and north/west burbs as any IL legislator is from people actually worried about this.

It’s basically just down to whether Chicago can extort what they want out of it to let it pass unless Welch is willing to work with the GOP.

I don't think Chicago is extorting anything unless I am mistaken on where this would go*

A lot of which is due to city mismanagement

I’m not against the city and state and Bears working out a deal.

But the city also has to realize the Bears aren’t staying there regardless.

Anyways I’m literally just pointing out the dynamics of what is happening in the state legislature in regards to this bill.

they did mention the governor doesn’t seem to be the issue.*
