“The news that the Chicago Bears are leaving Illinois should be a wake-up call for everyone in Springfield.
This is about more than football. When a historic organization like the Bears begins looking elsewhere, it raises serious questions about the direction of our state. Families, businesses, and employers are all facing higher taxes, rising costs, and uncertainty about the future.
Illinois cannot afford to keep losing opportunities. It’s time for the General Assembly to work together and create policies that make our state a place where people and organizations want to stay and succeed.”
