Chicago’s far-left Mayor Brandon Johnson is throwing a tantrum after the Chicago Bears advanced plans for a new stadium in Hammond, Indiana. Despite his desperate claims that the move “is NOT a done deal,” the team is clearly done with the Windy City’s dysfunction.For years, Bears ownership has pushed for a modern facility with better economics, only to hit roadblocks from Johnson’s tax-and-spend machine. Chicago’s sky-high taxes, rampant crime, and endless business exodus have made the city toxic for major investments. Now the NFL franchise is eyeing greener pastures across the border, proving once again that even iconic institutions won’t stick around when liberal governance turns a great city into a cautionary tale.Johnson’s full meltdown mode exposes the panic: without the Bears, another piece of Chicago’s heritage slips away from the grasp of incompetent progressives. Taxpayers and fans pay the price while the mayor clings to power and denial. If the Bears bolt, it won’t be a surprise—it’s the predictable result of years of failed Democrat rule driving everyone else out.
