Break a Leg, or
Two
For anyone who’s
missed it, the state government here in Illinois has pretty much stopped
working. The Republican governor and the
Democratic leader of the General Assembly have been unable—as in unable to
humiliate the other side—to agree on a budget for three years running now. Recently, state senators from both parties
have sat down and tried their luck at hammering out an agreement. Here comes the plot twist, from politics to
sports to business: the Chicago Bears are involved, sneakily in a McCaskey
family sort of way.
Budget
negotiations have reached the sweetener stage.
A senator from Chicago floated the idea of firming up workers’ comp
requirements for football players.
Nothing strikes Halas Hall as more unfair than having to pay a claim
filed by an ex-player in his 40s or 50s.
Has this family no shame? You can
only hope the idea goes nowhere.
