@CourtneyRCronin @chicagotribune After you read the @chicagotribune article, you’ll understand how the public financing in the Bears stadium proposal is nowhere near touchdown status, with several important hurdles that need to be overcome. You gotta hope it all works out, but it’s not going to be easy.
@CourtneyRCronin @chicagotribune Look for Da Bears to cut a deal in Arlington Hts sooner than later. If they wait until after their $2.3Billion Illinois public funding request gets rejected, Arlington Hts will have them by the balls in negotiations.
@CourtneyRCronin @chicagotribune They are laying out their taxpayer funded desires. Whatever happened to the traffic studies they were supposed to consign around Arlington Park and they buried?

@CourtneyRCronin @chicagotribune No public funding. For any team, in any sport.
@CourtneyRCronin @chicagotribune “Hey Illinois! I know you just barely dodged bankruptcy a few years back, are facing multiple fiscal crises, and are still paying off the Soldier renos from 20 years ago…but can we have $2.3 billion for a cool stadium? It’ll be worth it we swear.” -Billionaire McCaskey Family
