It was a long week in Springfield for Illinois lawmakers, with mixed results amid a flurry of legislative maneuvering to end the spring session.
Illinois residents and companies will see some new taxes and regulations amid the legislation passed at the conclusion of the session, but perhaps more notable are the things that didn’t get done, including the failure to pass a bill aimed at keeping the Chicago Bears in the state of Illinois.
While Indiana lawmakers passed a bill earlier this year aimed at luring the Bears to Hammond, Illinois lawmakers tried and failed to pass a so-called PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) bill, then saw a measure that would have allowed Arlington Heights to create their own stadium construction authority die in the House at the conclusion of the session.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker discussed the failure of the plan, which came together Sunday before sputtering out.
“I don’t want the Bears to leave Illinois,” Pritzker said. “It might be during my term in office, if they decide to go to (Indiana), but if they decide to, and they’re building a stadium somewhere else, that might happen.”
Illinois House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch says his chamber needs more time to analyze what’s in the bill, which would have allowed cities like Arlington Heights to agree to the deals required for construction of a new stadium, and what such a bill would mean for taxpayers.
