Illinois Gov. \'Reluctant\' About White Sox Stadium Plans 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Feb 28, 2024 12:52 pm

Jerry Reinsdorf wants a new stadium for the Chicago White Sox, one built largely at public expense.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker may not be inclined to give Reinsdorf what he wants.

\"I start out really reluctant,\" Pritzker said, \"… unless a case is made that the investment yields a long-term return for the taxpayers that we can justify in some way. I haven\'t seen that yet.\"

Reinsdorf is seeking $1.7 billion in direct public investment plus tax kickbacks.
