Quote of the Day

I think we all assumed they were gonna put private money. If they weren't then there was no chance, and so that's a good first step, but I haven't heard a proposal that goes along with that $2 billion private investment that says that the state should be involved in anything.
-- Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, on the Bears' proposal to spend $2B in private funds to build a new domed stadium on the lakefront in Chicago.
