伊利诺伊州议员推进立法，为芝加哥熊队新体育场提供房产税确定性和激励措施
Read, Watch or Listen
Chicago — Illinois lawmakers this week advanced legislation to provide the Chicago Bears property-tax certainty and incentives to build a new domed stadium in Arlington Heights. State Rep. Kam Buckner filed amendment language in a megaprojects bill enabling the team to renegotiate property taxes on land they own, aiming to prevent a relocation to Indiana. Springfield lawmakers passed House Bill 910 by a 78-32 House vote Wednesday night, freezing the Bears' property tax bill and offering tax breaks that could save the franchise tens of millions annually; the measure now proceeds to the state Senate ahead of the May 31 session deadline, with unions and the governor seeking additional safeguards for school funding.

芝加哥熊队和阿灵顿高地开发商受益于立法上的税收确定性和潜在的年度税收节约，这改善了建造新体育场的财务前景。
除非法案包含可强制执行的保护措施，确保项目开发不会耗尽教育资金，否则当地学区和州纳税人的财产税收入将面临减少的风险。
