The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
Legislation to provide property-tax incentives to keep the Chicago Bears from relocating to Hammond, Indiana stalled in the Illinois Senate with only one day left in the legislative session. State Sen. Bill Cunningham acknowledged his caucus would not support the property-tax incentive bill the team says is necessary to stay in Illinois. Lawmakers were still working on alternative economic incentives to prevent the Bears' move, but faced a tight deadline of Sunday night to pass any legislation.
