Indiana Bears stadium bill adds union-friendly terms and Porter County tax
TL;DR
Indiana’s SB 27 for a Chicago Bears stadium in Hammond now allows project-labor agreements with unions by removing a prohibition, creates a stadium authority and a 35-year NFL lease, and funds the project through local taxes (including a 1% Porter County food-and-beverage tax) and bonds; the measure awaits further legislative action.
