Illinois Looking To Approve New Deal To Keep Bears in Chicago

The Illinois House has passed legislation to provide tax incentives for the Chicago Bears and other megaprojects worth $100 million or more. House Bill 910 passed on Wednesday night by a vote of 78-32. Plus in Wisconsin, Jill Underly, State Superintendent of the Department of Public Instruction, did not attend a Wednesday morning committee meeting she was invited to about her department’s 2024 standards-setting conference in the Wisconsin Dells. But representatives from her department were present and adamant the work of the 88-member committee that met was not subject to open meetings or open records disclosure because it was setup by vendor Data Recognition Corp.
