• Your Illinois News Radar » So far, it's a whole lot of nothing, but we'll see (capitolfax.com) — Statehouse negotiations over a wide-ranging “megaprojects” bill include language for a new Chicago Bears sports complex in Arlington Heights, but overall progress in Springfield is slow and uncertain. As lawmakers spar over AI rules, data centers, housing, and the budget, the Bears provision is caught in broader political tensions between the House, Senate, governor’s office, and local officials.    

• Unresolved Stadium Is Part of Bears' Update Planned for NFL Meeting (yardbarker.com) — Plans for a Chicago Bears stadium in Arlington Heights remain stalled as state lawmakers, local suburbs, and teachers unions wrangle over tax, traffic, and infrastructure concerns, with Hammond, Indiana emerging as the main alternative. With the legislative session’s end looming and NFL owners expecting an update, the team warns it will choose between Arlington Heights and Hammond within weeks, raising real stakes for local traffic, schools, and the tax base.
