Illinois, Indiana lawmakers consider Bears stadium bills

Illinois and Indiana lawmakers are scheduled to vote Thursday on legislation that could bring the Chicago Bears a new home, with Arlington Heights and Hammond as leading contenders.

Illinois lawmakers will hear a revised bill Thursday hoping to lure the Bears to Arlington Heights through tax incentives. Governor JB Pritzker has warned against fleecing taxpayers. Separately, Indiana's Senate is expected to pass their bill to fund a stadium in Hammond, while Chicago remains a potential option.
