Illinois, Indiana Lawmakers Take Up Bears Stadium Bills Thursday

Illinois and Indiana lawmakers are scheduled to vote Thursday on legislation that could determine the future location of the Chicago Bears stadium.

In Illinois, a House committee is set to hear a revised bill offering tax breaks to entice the Bears to Arlington Heights. Meanwhile, Indiana's full Senate is expected to pass its version to fund a stadium in Hammond.

Governor JB Pritzker has stated he will not allow taxpayers to be fleeced in the deal, though Chicago remains technically in the running.
