The people who are going to be the most mad at @ChicagoBears when they move to Indiana are the people whoβve been actively voting to make Illinois the least business friendly stateβ¦thereβs zero chance that they realize they are 100% to blameβ¦
@harryjsisson Harry has been living under a rock for the last 20 years. IL is still broke under Pritzkers rule and it continues to get worse by the day. Businesses and people are leaving the state.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on the Bearsβ stadium bill not being passed:
βThe reality is, I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money in order to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."
It certainly seems like a move to Indiana is now inevitable.
.@paschutz noted the Bears didn't meet with individual lawmakers enough to get the stadium bill votes they needed.
He added the Bears hired a lot of lobbyists who know their way around Springfield, "but I was told over and over again that Kevin Warren didn't listen to them."
SUSTAINABILITY; Last night the Village of Wilnette (Illinois)discussed spending thousands of dollars on a βfeasibility studyβ to get landscapers to stop using gas leaf blowers.
You canβt make this stuff up.
Generally I oppose all polls, surveys, & studies using tax money paid to expensive public relations and survey companies.
This is an example of βpolicy imitationβ where multiple towns and villages are doing this perhaps costing many thousands of dollars.
The person giving the presentation went to an out of state conference to study these studies so we can be sustainable, of course tax money was used for the junket.
I would like a study in cutting taxes. The power point presentation took over 25 minutes that could had been just sent out or done in 3 minutes. Iβll put link up to video of whole meeting.
You canβt make this stuff up.
@OlympicHughes@snowytrade@Breaking911 Thatβs what Jeff Bazos told you and heβs one of the reasons for the massive job losses in this country. Add that to the fact of the damage that AI is doing to this nation.
