Controversy Surrounds Bears' Potential Move to Arlington Park.

Neighboring suburbs including Palatine and Rolling Meadows are critical of a measure that would provide state assistance for the Chicago Bears to build a new stadium and complex in Arlington Heights. The proposal would freeze the property tax assessment on the site for up to 40 years, but critics are concerned about the potential sixfold spike in property tax bills. The measure includes a $3 tax on all Chicago Bears ticket sales to help pay off the $640 million worth of renovations to Soldier Field from two decades ago. Neighboring communities are skeptical and request a comprehensive infrastructure and traffic study before any action is taken.
