“Thank God we live in Illinois because, we’re already Trump -proof,” Welch said.

“We have to be concerned that he’s going to put the city of Chicago and otherurban areas in the middle of a dart board” The state is facing a $3.1 billion shortfall, and the challenge is to find a way to fill that gap by turning first toward spending cuts.

Welch sought to temper remarks he made recently seemingly suggesting that the team could gain some traction on public funding for infrastructure if they shifted their focus away from the lakefront site south of Soldier Field and toward the old Michael Reese hospital site.

“People want to see tax dollars being used to uplift people who need it—not subsidize stadiums for the wealthy.”.
