The public knows stadium subsidies are a scam. But the NFL encourages its owners to squeeze every single dollar they can from taxpayers and too many elected officials still play along. That’s the real game.

TRENDING: #Bills fans are angry that team owners Terry and Kim Pegula drive around their mega-yacht worth nearly 100 million dollars…. While local taxpayers are paying at least $850 million for the team's new stadium. 😳😳😳. Thoughts on this…?.

Vry proud of our very own @chancetherapper. The project was surgical. 17 tracks & no misses. The album both listens & speaks. Equal parts prayer & party, rooted & restless. Mr. Bennett, you done did it, you did it, you did it. You did a good *** job, you did a good ***job!.

Yesterday, @GovPritzker made HB1710 - the Homicide Data Transparency Act the law of the land. For years we have pushed for real accountability through public reporting of clearance rates. Families deserve answers, communities deserve trust, and justice deserves transparency. 🙏🏾.

Why should the Bears, an $8.8 billion franchise, get a property tax break that Illinoisans will never get?

4️⃣ The Bears are one of the most profitable sports franchises in the world. A prop. tax freeze in Arlington means freezing the main revenue source for local schools. People all over IL, in Rockford, Peoria & the Southland want “property tax certainty” too. They just don’t get to.

3️⃣ I heard from the Bears today that Chicagoans should take solace that at least Arlington Heights is in the same county. I’ll be sure to remind folks in Ford Heights that even though their finances differ, it’s fine, because they’re in the same county as Winnetka.

2️⃣ The state is facing real fiscal uncertainty based on what’s happening in Washington; the threats of $48 B Medicaid losses over 10 years(risking coverage for 330K people), SNAP cuts for 360K residents, and $1.5 B less for housing. Oh, and by the way, we’ve got a $1.5 B transit.

RE: @ChicagoBears asking ILGA to pass legislation to help them leave Chi. 🧵 . 1️⃣ Chicago taxpayers still owe hundreds of millions from the last Bears stadium deal. That’s like being sent to collections on your old car note while trying to take out another loan for a luxury SUV.
