DEERFIELD — State Senator Julie Morrison (D-Lake Forest) released the following statement after the Senate passed a measure securing the future of the Chicago Bears in Illinois:
“As a lifelong Bears fan, I see the importance of sporting events that bring economic benefits to our communities.
“Professional sports stadiums and their surrounding areas provide spaces for neighbors to gather, ensure robust job opportunities and underpin our local economy. It was imperative that we continued to work to secure the future of the Chicago Bears in Illinois – and this bill does just that, without costing the state a single dollar to build the stadium.”
