State Rep. Dan Ugaste is launching new legislation this week to keep the Chicago Bears in Illinois, targeting tax certainty and statewide property tax relief to counter the team’s push toward Hammond, Indiana. With the Bears eyeing a potential $3-5 billion stadium investment outside the state, Ugaste argues Illinois can’t afford to lose such a major economic opportunity. While the Bears haven’t locked in a site in Indiana, local officials are optimistic, and the NFL’s approval remains pending. This isn’t the first time the Bears have explored Illinois options — including Arlington Heights — but past legislative efforts stalled. With a summer deadline looming, Ugaste’s bill could be the game-changer that keeps the Bears home.
