  1. If its all a big game being played, pun not intended, relative to Chicago vs. Hammond, then the State and Hammond are being duped. If I were Governor Braun, I would be telling McCaskey and Warren don’t be wasting the time of the the State and Hammond officials “…….with whom the Bears are in daily contact”. “We don’t like being played and duped.” Just sayin’!!!!!!!!

  2. Pritzker calling Braun “most unpopular” is pretty amusing. While I am not necessarily a Braun supporter, I do commend him for taking initiatives while the Illinois Governor just fiddles with his personal stash of wealth.

    1. The “initiative” would be giving away fuel tax money to prop up the failed foreign policy of his idol in the White House.

    2. And for immediately raising taxes for the Bears but not for Hoosiers’ healthcare. Quite an initiative.

  3. I have it on good authority that talks are underway for the White Sox to move to an expanded U.S. SteelYard Stadium, where the RailCats currently play. All 74 billionaires residing in Gary have blessed the deal provided they each get a free suite in the stadium. In exchange they are guaranteeing sellouts for each home game over the next 5 years and a complete makeover of the downtown area. And MAN, this is some GOOOOOD weed!!
