JB Pritzker backs special session if Illinois lawmakers unite on one Bears stadium plan

Illinois Governor Pritzker Floats Special Session for Bears Stadium Bill—With Conditions

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has signaled a potential path forward for the Chicago Bears' quest for a new stadium, but the window for action is exceptionally narrow. In recent comments, Pritzker stated he would only convene a special legislative session if a clear majority of state lawmakers back a single, unified stadium bill.

This caveat effectively places the responsibility squarely on Republican and Democratic legislators to forge a consensus before the downstate fall veto session. The potential legislation would likely involve public financing for a domed stadium project, a prospect that has historically divided the Illinois General Assembly.

What do you think?

• Should Illinois taxpayers foot the bill for a multi-billion dollar Bears stadium, or is that money better spent on services and infrastructure across cities downstate as well so into Chicago equal?
