Pritzker said raising taxes and tolls to keep the Bears was off the table.
So the Bears left for Indiana... THEN Pritzker raised your sales tax and tolls anyway.
Indiana got the Bears. We got played.
A source with the Bears texted @AdamSchefter the following on them leaving Chicago for Indiana:
“Illinois F’d it up. The politics are unbelievable in that state. Totally dysfunctional.”
The Bears are lining up a move across Indiana state lines due to a lack of bill progress.
Had I done this -- and to be clear, I never ever ever would have done this had I been fortunate enough to go to this game -- you could not have waterboarded this information out of me and ESPECIALLY if I was the MAYOR OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO.
So we just lost the Chicago Bears over real estate taxes that the Bears have never paid in the history of the team. The local boards in Arlington Heights - who would’ve received those taxes - wanted to do the deal. Every team in the NFL gets tax breaks for a reason … these teams can go anywhere and they generate a massive amount of economic activity wherever they go.
The Bears will be moving to Indiana for one reason - Illinois is completely and wholly incompetent. The mere fact that - after all these years - they were scrambling at midnight to figure something out only highlights the point.
Democrats have cratered Illinois and nothing here is getting fixed without sweeping political change.
Vote red!
Mayor Johnson can go fuck himself.
He doesn’t care about Chicagoans being killed by thugs, he doesn’t care about thugs killing thugs, he doesn’t care about illegal aliens killing Americans & he doesn’t care about thugs killing cops but let it be that an officer shoots a thug who terrorizes our city & he’ll lose his mind.
He has 150 officers protecting him & his family but makes statements like “law enforcement is a sickness” then he thinks that ppl should believe that he didn’t do anything less but cheer on the piece of shit who shot the 2 officers this morning.
Dear @nickshirleyy,
Now that you have destroyed the careers of Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom, can you expose JB Pritzker next?
Thanks brother!
Sincerely,
Americans
This is a level of respect that shit for brains Governor of California will never know. God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her. 🇺🇸 🙏
Holy shit it only took this prick 3 days to say anything about an illegal alien with a firearm with a criminal record killing an American citizen.
Maybe, just maybe if Democrats in Illinois would’ve worked with the federal government & ICE to detain ppl like Jose Medina this would’ve been avoided?
🚨 BREAKING: NYPD Chief Aaron Edwards speaks on viral photo of him leaping over a barricade to chase Islamic Terrorists
“I don’t want that picture to be about me. I want it to be a reminder to New Yorkers that the NYPD is relentless in pursuing justice!”
True hero 🇺🇸🙏🏻
@brendenmoore13@ErikLambert1 The last thing this asshole does is protect the actual taxpayers of his state. They waited till the absolute last minute to negotiate & now it’s probably too late. He is the absolute worst governor in the nation
People are shot and stabbed every day in Chicago and @ChicagosMayor never utters a word, but a shooting death 400 miles away in Minneapolis motivates him to deliver a somber address from his office.
Make this make sense.

Thank you to @TuckerCarlson for providing national profile on Pritzker's Purge Law. It serves to warn suburbanites about what's coming from the cities thanks to governors like JB. It puts pressure on IL voters as to whether they want to again be the nation's bad example.
