Bears stadium update: Deal for Indiana takes next step

Here’s what was true this morning, and is still true now: There was not going to be a deal done today.

I am disappointed in today’s announcement by the Chicago Bears. There is no time left for our region to remain divided and there is no time left to stay on the sidelines. Our region and our leaders must speak with one voice.

Here’s what else is still true: Our region has spent three years preparing for this project. The Arlington Heights site is shovel-ready. The Mega Projects Bill is nearly agreed. We need a legislative solution. Everything else is noise.
