Bears Stadium Bills: IL, IN Lawmakers Vote Thursday

Illinois and Indiana lawmakers are set to vote Thursday on competing bills to build a new Chicago Bears stadium, with Chicago still technically in the race.

In Illinois, a House committee will hear a revised bill offering tax breaks for an Arlington Heights project. Governor JB Pritzker has stated he will not allow taxpayers to be "fleeced."

Meanwhile, Indiana's full Senate is expected to pass its bill to fund a stadium in Hammond. Both legislatures could vote on both proposals simultaneously.
