More trying to get taxpayers to build stuff in my guess. Pro sports make enough money they don’t need government (taxpayers) help.
Sounds like the Bears are putting up $2B of their own money and own the 324 acte site and their asking for property tax relief if the build their stadium on it.
So if the Bears owners pay for the stadium and everything around it in full, shouldn’t they get a cut of the increase tax revenue brought in by that new stadium????
Read the article. They are paying for it themselves. They want property tax assurances and the state refused.
