- Calling foul on Pappas' Bears' megaproject bill analysis
Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas released a controversial analysis of the state megaprojects proposal, including a Bears stadium complex, which critics argue relies on unrealistic assumptions. The report focuses on potential tax savings for the Bears if they relocate to Arlington Heights, but Rep. Kam Buckner criticized it for ignoring the uncertainty of project approval and legal challenges.
