Iowa Governor Reynolds' Final Legislative Session Yields Mixed Results

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker achieved several unspecified policy wins during the spring legislative session but failed to pass the most far-reaching elements of his BUILD housing initiative. A megaprojects bill intended to help the Chicago Bears secure a lower property tax rate for a stadium in Arlington Heights also failed to pass. The bill's failure could push the Bears to consider relocating to a site in Hammond, Indiana. Both a Democratic state senator and a Republican senator criticized the megaprojects bill's failure, though specifics of their criticism were not detailed. This is drawn from a single source, limiting independent verification.
