Hey Chicago Bears Fans,
Your blood is about to boil reading this:
I just did some research. The state of Illinois has spent over $2.5 BILLION on free benefits for illegals last year.
At the same time Illinois Governor @JBPritzker was telling the Bears there’s “no money” for tax relief on a new stadium.
Let that sink in.
For $2.5 billion the state of Illinois could have PAID for a new stadium for the Chicago Bears.
Instead, they spent it paying for lavish benefits for aliens, while running a $3 billion deficit and losing a franchise they've had for over 100 years.
This is what Democrat priorities look like. They hate you and will destroy your state for power.
Today: Juan Soto signing a $765 million contract and won’t run out ground balls
70s: Pete Rose signing a $100,000 contract and running out his fucking walks like Usain Bolt because he had money riding on that shit
Advantage: 70s
The Bears brought Chicago:
-$99 million to $370 million in taxable ticket revenue
-6.48 million per year in rent to use Soldier Field.
-Home games generate roughly $150 million to $250 million for the local metropolitan area.
You are a moron, and are bankrupting the city.
Breaking: The Bears’ Board of Directors voted Thursday to advance the stadium development in Hammond, Indiana.
“There is more work to do, but barring anything very strange, it’s a done deal,” one source told @AdamSchefter.
