The Chicago Bears are still determined to move from Soldier Field to a new stadium they are planning to construct in Arlington Heights, but a few local mayors from the surrounding suburbs are pushing back on a proposed measure that would provide state assistance for the team's development project. According to The Daily Herald , the mayors of Rolling Meadows (Lara Sanoica) and Palatine (Jim Schwantz) co-signed a letter to House Executive Committee Chairman Bob Rita on April 17 in which they formalized their opposition to legislation that would assist the Bears with their stadium project, citing '‘significant concerns' about how revenues would be allocated from the Bears' proposed Arlington Park redevelopment.
