Statement from @GovPritzker office on announcement from the Chicago Bears

.@ChicagosMayor statement: "Without a final site selection, until we see shovels in the ground in Hammond, the City will continue to engage in discussions grounded in the interests of our residents."

[Jordan Muck @J_muck]

As expected, the political reaction from Illinois so far is... skeptical. @SpeakerWelchIL statement: "Illinois remains open to ongoing efforts to secure the Bears in Illinois. However, it will take time to get it right."

[Chicago Bears @ChicagoBears]

Statement from Chairman George H. McCaskey and President & CEO Kevin Warren:

“Important step…”

Governor Pritzker’s office releases statement.

Taking a victory lap after the megaprojects bill passed, @SpeakerWelchIL says "What began as a conversation about the Chicago Bears, resulted in a statewide tool for economic development paired with real property tax relief for working people." @WGNNews @tahmanbradley

@tnertz It hasn't moved out of committee. Labor groups came out against AV's, which will make the plan unpalatable to a lot of lawmakers. They've got until the end of May to find any potential compromise, though.

Illinois House APPROVES the megaprojects bill meant to help the Chicago Bears build a new stadium in Arlington Heights, 78-32 vote.

Lots still unknown: Will the Senate and Governor Pritzker support it? Is it enough to stop the Bears from taking Indiana’s offer? More to come...

[Jordan Muck @J_muck]

While we're waiting for debate to wrap up in the House, catch up on everything you need to know about the megaprojects bill from tonight's The Point. Interviews with @RepKamBuckner and @brendenmoore13!

[Tahman Bradley @tahmanbradley]

After drama here at the Capitol today sources say the Bears bill will run in committee and the House floor today.

Details will be made public in committee shortly.

[Brenden Moore @brendenmoore13]

Redistricting amendment passes 74-38. It goes to the Senate, which needs to pass it by May 3 for it to get on the November ballot.

[Jordan Muck @J_muck]

It appears a 3rd version of the Bears megaproject has now been filed, but not much major change expected. @tahmanbradley is in Springfield where a committee hearing on the 376 page proposal will happen later this afternoon

Here is the updated Illinois Bears bill...

[Jordan Muck @J_muck]

One step closer to the Indiana Bears? Gov. Pritzker and legislative leaders have little appetite to help the team with public funding for a new stadium. And neither do Illinois voters: https://t.co/Sub1yMzX7S

[Tahman Bradley @tahmanbradley]

🏈Voters strongly oppose public funding to help the Bears build a new stadium

Pritzker responds to Chicago’s concerns about the pension bill for the city’s police officers:

“The mayor never once called me, or as far as I know, any legislators to oppose that bill or to ask for any changes in that bill.” #twill
