@Moxter3 @CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO I am a puplic employee here. And I was when I lived in Colorado. You’re commenting on something you know nothing about, my man.

@scotsdalesteve @CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO No, I said you benefited from a system that did well for you and are bitching about it after leaving. The high property taxes you complain about paid for the living wage you used to better yourself. Why weren’t you a public employee in Az or Indiana?

Fans looking to blame #DaBears about the traffic study not being done at this point aren’t fully understanding… A traffic study is going to cost a minimum of $100,000 and could be upwards of $500,000+. Furthermore, most jurisdictions won’t accept data that’s 1 to 2 years old. It’s a good thing they didn’t do the study early in the process since it has taken IL over 3 years to finally make a push to even talk about property tax certainty. Which then points to the why would they pay for an extensive traffic study when there has been so much uncertainty surrounding the Bears stadium site in Arlington Heights? The Bears aren’t blameless in this situation but the bigger fault still falls on the politicians (both sides) who refused to take this seriously for too long in an attempt to blackmail the Bears into covering a Soldier Field renovation debt that isn’t even their burden to bear.

@CalebWilliamsPR @DaWheels_1 @ChiRuxinBGO Odd kink to air here, homie

@DaWheels_1 @scotsdalesteve @ChiRuxinBGO you guys should kiss

Well, you inferred that giving public money to private businesses is something nobody should want. But it happens on a massive scale that you ignored which proved your point to be cherry picked. My original point was- it’s better business for the bears to move to Indiana and Illinois politicians are orchestrating political theater while Indiana orchestrated political action to get things rolling

@scotsdalesteve @CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO So Illinois is willing to do business with private businesses? Which would mean this is a bears issue? Which was the point of the original post. I’m glad we got here. You just confirmed our point.

@DaWheels_1 @CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO This dude had to google-map where these places were. Solid combo tbh. We are in Scottsdale and Denver for the summer 👌🏽

@CalebWilliamsPR @scotsdalesteve @ChiRuxinBGO Nashville and Missoula easily clears bud. Maybe one day you’ll actually have a job and get there 🤣🤣🤣🫵🫵🫵

@CalebWilliamsPR @DaWheels_1 @ChiRuxinBGO Yeah so my picture would indicate my age. Context clues homie

@scotsdalesteve @DaWheels_1 @ChiRuxinBGO Bro lives in SCOTTSDALE ARIZONA I’m dying dude. Don’t break a hip at your single seniors mixer big dog

@CalebWilliamsPR @DaWheels_1 @ChiRuxinBGO Scottsdale and Phoenix metro is pretty cool. One day maybe you can afford to visit

@DaWheels_1 @scotsdalesteve @ChiRuxinBGO That is awesome dude I bet your town has a Walmart and everything. Drive to Texas Roadhouse for a date night, live it up brother.

@CalebWilliamsPR @DaWheels_1 @ChiRuxinBGO Ohhhh he’s the bury his head in the sand, type 😬

@DaWheels_1 @scotsdalesteve @ChiRuxinBGO My state kicks ass and that is why I’ll never leave. Sorry you got scared and had to run away to Nebraska :(

@Moxter3 @CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO They’re getting out of having to deal with the state of Illinois on this project. The biggest and longest project they’ve ever done.

@scotsdalesteve @CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO The Bears aren’t getting out. All of the income taxes will still go to Illinois. Property taxes are set by local governments, not the state. Despite being wildly successful, here’s one thing that has no correlation and clearly doesn’t hurt businesses as they still do it here

@CalebWilliamsPR @DaWheels_1 @ChiRuxinBGO I think that Illinois politics suck ass. If you don’t, you’re delusional or too young and dumb to realize it yet. I hope they move to Indiana too escape that nonsense and you’ll see why in a few years. Gobbless

@DaWheels_1 @scotsdalesteve @ChiRuxinBGO LMAOOOOO pocket watching from an entirely different state is crazy. Get our name out of your mouth, go enjoy Iowa or whatever

@Moxter3 @CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO It’s fucking amateur hour over here.

@CalebWilliamsPR @scotsdalesteve @ChiRuxinBGO Working in the public sector and wanting to just give away taxes to businesses is hilarious.

Yeah Illinois only sucked after I left 😂. What you’re getting wrong here is that I think the bears should move to Indiana too. The state is a mess and 1- the bears should get out 2- funding should go elsewhere Why? Bc despite producing the 5th largest GDP by state, and having the 2nd highest property taxes, Illinois politicians continue to fumble the bag (worst political scene in the country outside of Cali)

@CalebWilliamsPR @scotsdalesteve @ChiRuxinBGO Basically I took advantage of being paid a living wage that afforded me the ability to move to Arizona but now that I’m gone Illinois sucks. Just nonsense.

@CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO Lol oh you’re new to this. Now ask yourself why a state with that much money produced is in such a fiscal bind year after year. All while the property taxes are the 2nd highest in the country. Youre so close

@scotsdalesteve @ChiRuxinBGO Oh and btw not too shabby for a horrible state to do business

@CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO They’re going to Indiana so you don’t have to worry about it. According to you, you should be happy

@scotsdalesteve @ChiRuxinBGO Great so you don’t live here. I do, and it’s my money they’re giving away.

@CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO Lived in IL for 30 years. Owned a house, payed taxes, worked in the public sector. Leaving the state and seeing how others operate has been eye opening

@scotsdalesteve @ChiRuxinBGO bro you live in Scottsdale, respectfully

@Moxter3 @CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO When the business you’re doing relies on political cooperation, you still think it’s a fine state to do business? You think working with Illinois politicians is “fine”?

@scotsdalesteve @CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO The Bears are still very much a mom and pop shop. Soccer stadium is already being built. Illinois is fine to do business in. Bears should take their “great deal”. Why haven’t they? The state would be fine. They are still head quartered here so the tax loss would be small.

Lol so you’re concerned about business ethics? Or the bears not jumping on a great deal? IL is an absolute pit to do business in and the bears know this and are lucky that the states incompetence is on full display. For years fans have complained about being a Mom n pop shop- not anymore.

@scotsdalesteve @ChiRuxinBGO Counterpoint: Indiana is being really fucking stupid and irresponsible in offering billions in taxpayer money without any real study. If this YOUR money and it were a data center or a solar farm would you knee-jerk support?

@CalebWilliamsPR @ChiRuxinBGO Counterpoint: look how quickly Indiana moved and ask yourself why this is just coming up now. You don’t have to think that hard

@ChiRuxinBGO Counterpoint: I think if you are asking for millions in taxpayer money you owe it to the public to do your due diligence. Simply no excuse for not doing that at this point, and I don’t know what in this process Kevin Warren has done to earn the benefit of the doubt

@AdamHoge @adamjahns The best decision anybody could make is to escape Illinois, the Bears included.

The cosponsor of the PILOT bill saying this publicly with just 12 days to go is something:

@JAYChi_Bears @creamsleeve @talleybrand I live in AZ and need one

Everyone in Chicago needs one of these in their front yard 🔥 @talleybrand
