(Chicago, IL) — Governor Pritzker is blasting Mayor Brandon Johnson over his last-ditch efforts to keep the Bears in Chicago. Pritzker says Johnson has “no plan” for the team to remain in the city. The governor called the mayor’s efforts “kind of typical,” accusing Johnson of showing up at the end of the legislative session and making demands. The mayor’s office released a statement, saying the city’s proposal “remains the only plan centered on public ownership alongside a funding mechanism that does not burden property taxpayers while keeping the Bears in Chicago.” Pritzker expects state lawmakers to vote on an amended megaprojects bill by the end of the month, possibly paving the way for the Bears to relocate to Arlington Heights.
