Today's riddle: I went into the woods and found it. Once I'd found it, I searched for it. The harder I searched, the less I wanted it. When at last I couldn't find it, I carried it home in my hand. What is it? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
• Arlington Heights mayor says he believes megaprojects bill is 'gonna happen' (fox32chicago.com) — Arlington Heights Mayor Jim Tinaglia says he’s optimistic Illinois lawmakers will pass the “megaprojects” bill that could enable a new Chicago Bears stadium in the village with long-term property tax certainty. The story explains remaining hurdles in Springfield, concerns from neighboring suburbs and teachers’ groups, and Indiana’s competing push to lure the team to Hammond instead of Arlington Heights.
• Arlington Heights Firefighters Delayed for Unknown Reason at Scene of Vehicle Fire Threatening Other Vehicles at Mallard Cove (arlingtoncardinal.com) — Emergency crews from Arlington Heights and Mount Prospect responded Monday to a Honda Odyssey fire in the Mallard Cove condo parking lot on South New Wilke Road, where flames damaged several nearby vehicles but caused no injuries. The article also raises questions about why Mount Prospect arrived first, notes encrypted local fire communications, and urges residents to share eyewitness information to improve neighborhood safety coverage.
• Pope believes 'the Bears belong in Chicago,' mayor says (wthr.com) — State lawmakers are nearing a deadline on a bill that could bring the Chicago Bears’ new stadium to Arlington Heights instead of Hammond, Indiana. As Chicago’s mayor courts support in Rome, Illinois and Indiana officials are competing with funding plans that would shape where the team – and its economic impact – ultimately lands.
