@SingleBearel @Cubpower44 @BenSzalinski But it’s the LA still pays the highest tax in US sports and you think the Bears will pay $50mil plus a year?

@Cubpower44 @BenSzalinski I agree we need tax breaks but pretend you own the Bears. Sofi stadium in LA has taxes of $14 million and they want Bears to pay $72 million…? Sounds like illinois is playing games to me

How much could the Bears pay in property taxes without a tax break in Arlington Heights? And how does that compare to SoFi Stadium?
A new Cook County Treasurer report explores that

@bear2112drums @patrickfinley Sofi in LA pays the most in US sports and it’s 9million per year and that the entire property
English
@patrickfinley It’s not a tax break. Most stadiums pay 5-13 million a year. 53 million is a fake number.

Pappas’ office estimated #Bears would pay a $53.2M property tax bill in Arlington Heights ...
Freezing the current bill of less than $4M plus a hypothetical $10M PILOT, Pappas’ office estimated team would get “an annual tax break of more than $39M."

@DerekCressman @bennyjohnson We aren't exactly oil independent. The oil that we frack and extract is a different oil than our refinaries use. We sell that oil and purchase the oil that we can refine. I know this sound crazy but no one will invest in a modern day refinary because of the attack on fossil fuel

🚨 CENTCOM confirms defensive strikes on IRGC ships that were caught laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz and on a surface to air missile site in Bandar Abbas that was targeting U.S. aircraft.
A U.S. official made clear that this does not indicate the ceasefire with Iran is over: “these were defensive strikes”.

@North2North @GDanielBee @FoxNews @GovPritzker @ChicagoBears Bears are a very poorly run business I agree. That being said, they shouldn't be forced to do something. If the Bears were the only one's leaving your argument would be compelling. Everything from fortune 500 to mom and pop are leaving or shutting down.

Mike Braun governor of Indiana just said on @FoxNews it’s 65-35 that the bears end up in Hammond and directly blames @GovPritzker and the legislature of Illinois .But he also said no answer for a month or month and a half . @FoxNews @ChicagoBears He says they will be in Indiana hopefully but they’ll still be the Chicago bears .No they won’t .How embarrassing . @CourtneyRCronin

If Chicago had warm weather year-round it would be the greatest city in America. No debate.

What would you consider the best city in America?
I think Chicago has a case.

@therealtb404 @ClownWorld In Hilton head it’s $300!per day and it’s a charge not a deposit and you pay for everyday you rented even if you want it heated for just 1 day. Your better off saying no to charge and swim in colder water
English
@ClownWorld Looks like Florida and that looks like a heated pool. Normally they hold a $500 deposit for units with heated pools because most people don't know how to turn them off.

Airbnb host charging $500 just to use the barbecue grill 😭
At what point does an Airbnb stop being an Airbnb and start feeling like a scam?
Would you ever pay this?

@PekalaLaw @NAllison89 Alot of boomers are being taken care of Gen X who are now all in the 50s and up to 60
English
@NAllison89 In the Boomer/X/M/Z discourse, one thing I haven't seen is this: Boomers have been financially and otherwise caring for their elders. Boomers spend fortunes on elder care. People are living into their 80s, 90s, 100s. $10,000month for asst. living? That's basic and far from fancy.
English
My guess is boomers probably didn't like people telling them they had to go to Vietnam either, or the shitty 70s economy with an oil crisis and a president resigning in disgrace. Every generation thinks the previous one failed them. In some ways they are right yet in some wrong.
Jutah@ILuvChitlins
@Abbreviated @bruddahmateo I was a kid and just watched you boomers start war after war you can't win and you bankrupted the country. losers pay for the war. and now you idiots actually think you can win in Iran. you haven't won a war in your life. that caused this.

@magantifa @CWBChicago You have no idea what you’re talking about unless you live in Chicago. The amount of oversight and second guessing officers is insane here. They will suspend and fire you. Why risk your career when you know you will be thrown under the bus immediately
English
@CWBChicago New generation of cops are total cucks. Don’t blame toothless oversight bodies
English
Just a couple of years ago, Chicagoans were told that "the community" was deathly afraid of the city's police officers.
Now, after creating several duplicative police oversight bodies, that problem appears to be solved.
Job well done!

@AaronLemingNFL wrong, the Bears have not botched this the last 6months, early on yes but they have done everything right to get Illinois to get a bill passed and now media and politicians are gaslighting fans to think it’s all the Bears fault and you fell for it
English
YIKES. The #Bears might be better on the field but ownership will continue to be an issue unless they sell (they won’t).
Obviously, this is aimed directly at Kevin Warren but ownership hired him & has à lack of liquidity to get a stadium done 3 years later.
Robert Peters@RobertJPeters
“State Sen. Robert Peters, a Chicago Democrat whose district encompasses Soldier Field, expressed frustration at Warren and how, despite his success in helping the Minnesota Vikings secure a new stadium, “he is now being known for this three-year cluster mess of the Bears stadium deal, and his approach to it.” “We have come to this place where it’s an easy narrative about the governor versus the mayor. And I don’t think that’s the right narrative. The main narrative is that the Bears have been totally inept in this entire process,” he said Thursday. “None of us want to have our heart broken seeing the team we love move,” Peters said. “What we also don’t want to see is the team we love bamboozle us.””
English
@therealburns3 You believe this? This is all cover for the politicians not being able to get a bill passed
English
@Micky_Horstman @TTakonouchi Did you just said the Bears don’t allow from August to end of season, now you’re saying concert season is only summer?SMH
English
@TTakonouchi But they would never host Taylor Swift during football season because stadium tours don’t happen in the winter… that’s my point! Soldier Field will always be a stadium contender and my money is on Chicago!
English
I don’t see a Hammond Indiana or an Arlington Heights stadium (tbh) attracting any big artists while Soldier Field is still open. That’s the main incentive for owning! So, how do they think they are going to make money?
There aren’t even that many stadium tour caliber artists!
English
@Micky_Horstman @ColinSeanKing A lot of competition for concerts beside soldier Field, ie:Wrigley, United Center, new Northwestern stadium, the new soccer stadium blocks from soldier field and if a new Sox stadium is built on river
English
@ColinSeanKing The post is about concerts. Specifically, how few stadium touring artists there are… and how soldier field will still be an open and competitive venue for them. They will not stop going to Soldier Field for Hammond Indiana. They just won’t!
Also, you can train and bus!
English
@Chicago_NFL The Illinois politicians are working OT to gaslight fans into believe ing that it’s the Bears fault when they leave not the politicians, they have the media working overtime on it too
English
If the Chicago Bears were adamant about staying in Illinois, they would be meeting diligently with every Springfield lawmaker, but that simply is not happening. Regular meetings with Indiana continue.
English
While there seems to be a lack of communication with Illinois lawmakers, Chicago Bears brass were at the Indiana Governor Residence meeting with Mike Braun last week where they “reaffirmed their focus on Hammond.” #DaBears
English
It’s still surprising to me the Bears and Chicago can’t agree to just sell them the stadium. Chicago needs the money, Bears could renovate solider field. Seems like an easy win win.
Chief@BarstoolChief
On the Bears stadium front I do not care about hosting a super bowl once every 30 years. I do not care about Final Fours I actively DONT want a dome I'm so tired of this news story Traffic will suck in AH Traffic sucks now Hammond site is on toxic waste. Just stay put
English
@Jonathan_A_Hand They can’t build at soldier field per the city charter…the friends of the park will make sure of that…not sure there’s another property near downtown they can go. The NFL has already said Michael Reese site is too small.
English
This is and always has been the best option
Keep the bears in Chicago proper
Get a new mayor in office who actually has a bit of business acumen and will explore viable options
Rework routes to the stadium however possible
Build something unique not cookie cutter bs
Traffic will be a nightmare wherever you build, the bears should own their stadium, nobody wants Jerry’s world 2.0 30 minutes outside of the city whether here or in Indiana
Soldier field has the best skyline backdrop of any stadium in the NFL and i could give a shit less about hosting a superbowl, let’s get to one first
Mark Carman@thecarm
Since there is confusion over the AH traffic study, I will provide analysis: 1- Traffic will be miserable. Really, really bad. 2- Surrounding municipalities should allocate $$$$ for road improvements that will save 10 minutes. Solution- Sell lakefront land to Bears. Tax Bears, help taxpayers get out of 500 million in unpaid debt. Build Soldier Field 3.0.

@PekalaLaw @WallStreetApes Most teachers don’t make that kind of money and most have a masters degree and work hard to educate kids. We have to get away from scapegoating an entire professions based on certain districts. People do it with police, teachers and others professions all the time
English
@WallStreetApes Chicago Public School teachers: $74,000--$115,000 'yr' (by which they mean max 170 classroom days).
Plus per new contract 4-5% raise hikes for each of next 4 years.
PLUS health insurance and pension$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Taxpayers pay CPS $10.5Billion yr. 315,000 kids.
English
American teachers share how much money each of them has in their bank account 2 days before payday
- 1st teacher was hoping to at least have $40, she only has $7.46
- 2nd teacher has $17
- 3rd teacher has $31
- 4th teacher has $63
- 5th teacher has $1.13
- The last teacher thought she has $500 but only has $126
These are American teachers working every day to educate our kids and most barely have $20 bucks in their bank account
Meanwhile everyone from Somalia or Africa can move here and stealing tens of millions of dollars and drive hundred thousand dollar sports cars
The system is so broken
English
If the @ChicagoBears move there they will stain their past and belong in Illinois .The fact they’d play in Indiana but will try to sell the its in Chicagoland crap will be pitched by their media partners .Hearing they still haven’t finished a traffic study for Arlington .Both parties incompetent at the moment .@ChicagoBears @BarroomNetwork

LOL. Sounds like a great option.
