    1. Well Clark, the CIB is Indianapolis. We won’t be impacted at all. This will affect Lake and Porter counties, not Marion.

  1. We spend taxpayer money on plenty of things that the math isn’t perfect on, public transit, trails, state parks, etc. That doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be spent. This is a once in a generation opportunity to boost an area of the state with a great deal of opportunity being so close to Chicago. The local northwest Indiana leadership and the state leadership need to make sure not to squander it.

  2. There is something very Hoosier, or at least very Indiana-Republican, about saying government cannot afford sidewalks, streets, schools, parks, transit, mental health, housing, downtown maintenance, or basic civic beauty, Apparently we cut, cut, cut taxes and we can’t afford anything nice for people here 24/7/365, but we can always find a new way to be taxed a $1 billion for skyboxes that get filled 8 times a year. Pathetic.

    1. I agree that the billion going to the new stadium could have instead paved a lot of beat up roads around Indiana. Yet one of the benefits the Bears seek in a new roofed stadium is to hold events year round instead of just during football season, as is the case now with Soldier Field.
