Illinois Lawmakers File Bill To Keep Bears In State


SPRINGFIELD –  Efforts to keep the Bears in Illinois are moving forward.  WGN-TV reports state lawmakers filed a bill last night that outlines tax breaks for the team to lure them to Arlington Heights.  The measure is expected to be discussed in a committee meeting today in Springfield.  The legislation would allow a 20-year property tax assessment freeze for mega-projects like a new stadium.  Over in Indiana today, lawmakers are expected to send a bill that clears the way to fund a stadium in Hammond to their governor.
