'Bottom line: My family cannot afford another financial burden, whereas the Chicago Bears can afford the world, and they are paying you off with it,' said Fisher
The Bears' redevelopment of the Arlington Park Racecourse was not on the agenda, but one resident raised a lot of criticism during public comments.
The team closed on the property agreement last month to buy the track, but their redevelopment proposal is still pending village approval.However, Fisher accused elected officials of trying to push the deal through without a public vote. "Let me just say as calmly as I can, I can assure Ms. Fisher and all those watching tonight, that nobody is being paid off as a result of this proposal. I can assure you that is 100 percent the case. That will remain the case no matter how long this proposal remains on the table," said Arlington Heights Mayor Thomas Hayes.
