The team is preaching urgency in Springfield, where the House passed property tax legislation last week. The legislation must now pass the Senate, and the Bears want key revisions. The Senate adjourns May 31.</p><p>The quarterly meeting features owners from each team. Approval from league ownership — whether it occurs in May or at a later meeting — is part of the NFL’s G-5 funding program, which allows teams to borrow up to $250 million for stadium construction.</p><p>Vikings owner Mark Wilf chairs the stadium committee, which features, among other executives, Bears chairman George McCaskey.</p><bsp-list-loadmore class=\"PageListH\" data-module data-hide-authors=\"true\" data-hide-categories=\"true\" data-hide-dates=\"true\" data-show-loadmore=\"true\" ><a class=\"AnchorLink\" id=\"list-bc0001\" name=\"list-bc0001\"></a><div class=\"PageList-header\" > <div class=\"PageList-header-title-wrap\" > <div class=\"PageList-header-title\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears\" target=\"{borderColor=#dfdfdf, pageNumber=1, inverseColors=false, footerBgColor=#000000, bodyFont=font-3, showListNumbers=false, imagePositionHorizontal=null, pullQuoteIcon=[{image=null, narrowImage=null, _template=/image/Image.hbs, alt=null}], rteBodyFont=font-3, headerBottomBorderColor=#111010, titleUrl=https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears, subTitle=null, stickyHeader=true, listTitleColor=#000000, tableCellBorderColor=#ccd1d5, relatedListFont=font-1, hideAuthors=true, tertiaryTextColor=#6c6c6c, buttonHoverTextColor=#ffffff, tableFont=font-1, items=[{type=Image, timestamp=1777492814000, authors=[{authorPageUrl=https://chicago.suntimes.com/authors/jeff-agrest, ampLink=null, _styledTemplate=null, bio=[{items=[Jeff Agrest is deputy sports editor at the Chicago Sun-Times.]}], _template=/author/byline/AuthorByline.hbs, media=[{alt=11-20-stewart-agrest-2-0.jpg, ampLink=null, _styledTemplate=null, _template=/image/Image.hbs, image={src=https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/aa/7e/6765027c315652b7137576f04898/11-20-stewart-agrest-2-0.jpg, width=512, height=512}, narrowImage={src=https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/aa/7e/6765027c315652b7137576f04898/11-20-stewart-agrest-2-0.jpg, width=512, height=512}}], name=[{items=[Jeff Agrest]}], jobTitle=[{items=[Deputy sports editor]}]}], _styledTemplate=null, imageAlignment=null, isFeatured=false, description=[{items=[Carlson becomes the second woman to hold that title in Chicago TV history.
