The Chicago Bears' stadium saga, from both sides of the state line. Illinois broadcaster Patrick Pfingsten breaks down the chaotic end of the legislative session and why no deal got across the finish line — then Hammond Mayor Tom McDermott makes Indiana's case, laying out the $1.3–1.4 billion offer and why he expects a yes or no from the Bears by June 30. Plus, McDermott on Saturday's Democratic state convention, the Bayh-Potter Secretary of State fight, and why he's rooting for more than two parties.
