Arlington Heights mayor asks Pritzker to coach lawmakers into keeping Bears home
TL;DR
Arlington Heights Mayor Jim Tinaglia pressed Gov. JB Pritzker to take an active, coach-like role to unite state lawmakers and push a Bears stadium bill at Arlington Park, aiming to keep the team from moving to Indiana; with the Bears’ Indiana bid public and the Illinois legislature adjourning without a final deal, Tinaglia says talks with the team aren’t closed and remains hopeful a consensus could draw the project back home.
