A proposed stadium for the Chicago Bears and other megaprojects are expected to be up for discussion at the Illinois Capitol this week.
After megaprojects legislation cleared the Illinois House last week, Gov. J.B. Pritzker suggested the Senate would make changes.
Pritzker said the Bears do not want a nine percent amusement tax added to their ticket prices.
In February, the Bears notified fans that season ticket prices would increase by an average of 13.5% this year.
State Rep. Blaine Wilhour said local governments can either raise taxes or take on debt when revenue doesn’t match state spending.
The Illinois Senate is scheduled to be in session Tuesday through Thursday.
