we give you forward progress here on 312 and there is a little bit of progress that we are now understanding is being made in the Bears attempts or the. The legislation of the General assembly of the state of Illinois's attempts to pass through the pilot bill, the mega Projects bill, as it's been referred to, to keep the bears here in Arlington Heights, which is the expected outcome and has always been the expected outcome. The latest quote from Governor JB Pritzker is that the legislation that passed the House is within the framework of a deal that the team would be willing to agree to. There obviously are going to be changes made in the Senate version of the bill. There are changes that the Senate wants, that the government governor wants for taxpayers and that the Bears want as well. Here's the full quote. Within the legislation that was passed was the deal that the Bears are willing to accept that's good for the taxpayers, which is what I want. That was Pritzker. There were also things that were added on top of that that I think are not great for the taxpayers and that we probably need to make some changes to. And most importantly, that won't work for the Bears. We want the Bears to stay in Illinois. So that deal, I think, is within the framework of what passed the House. We've got to see if the Senate is able to make the changes that are necessary while keeping some of the things the House wanted to have in that bill. If the governor is saying this with the full majority controls that they have, this means they're already well at work on it and that by the end of May, as the bears have moved their timetable, it looks like this is going to get worked out. So it's going to keep happening. We're going to keep reading stories about Hammond and you're going to keep hearing from people in the local diner near Wolf Lake. So they want the bears to come, like sometimes did, a big story like that. And of course, one of the quotes that they used was somebody saying, yeah, they're really dragging this out, aren't they? Yeah. Yes, they are. They're dragging it out until they can get their deal done. So I just thought we'd get caught up there. Those are the first extended words that we have heard from the governor about all of the background work and now the next level of Illinois politics that will go into the Senate version of the bill that ultimately will be reconciled with the House version that will then make it to the governor's desk to be signed into law and will allow the bears to eventually have their shovels in the ground that they've so desired.
