SPRINGFIELD – In response to the passage of House Bill 958, State Senator Mark Walker (D-Arlington Heights) has released the following statement:
“By giving the Chicago Bears a modern venue that meets their long-term needs, we can help keep one of our state’s most treasured institutions rooted in Illinois while driving growth throughout the region.
“This proposal offers a unique opportunity to support economic growth while maintaining a strong commitment to fiscal responsibility. A new stadium and surrounding development can bring new jobs, attract investment and create lasting benefits for local businesses and residents, all while ensuring taxpayers are protected through a fair and balanced partnership.”
