Illinois Senate Republican Leader John Curran (R-Downers Grove) released the following statement in response to the statement from Gov. Pritzker following the Chicago Bears’ announcement they will move forward in Indiana:
“We have heard from the Indiana Governor that his State moves at the speed of business. Gov. Pritzker needs to understand that failing to produce a serious proposal after three years to keep the Chicago Bears in Illinois isn’t good faith negotiation – it’s dysfunction. It’s time for Gov. Pritzker to Bear Down, address the infighting in the Democratic legislative caucuses and bring Republicans substantially into the process to help produce a bipartisan plan that protects taxpayers, grows our economy and keeps the Chicago Bears in Illinois for generations to come.”
