! Can't Congress just chip in to fix our pipes instead of cutting funding like that? 
$125 million is a big chunk of change, but think about all the families who are struggling to get clean water and safe living conditions. It's not right, you know? 
At least the Bears are being transparent with their season ticket holders about the new stadium plans. That's more than I can say for some politicians 
. And hey, good luck to Julian Davis Reid on his tour! His music is always so soulful and emotive 
.
! So the Bears are thinkin' of movin' to Indiana? Like, I get it, new stadium and all that jazz 
, but isn't Soldier Field already kinda in need of an upgrade? 
And what's up with the U.S. Senate cuttin' funding for lead pipe replacements? 
That's straight up neglect, if you ask me 
. On a brighter note, I heard Julian Davis Reid's new album is SO GOOD 
, and I'm hyped he's comin' to Constellation on tour! 
Can't wait to see him perform live 
It seems like some people are saying one thing but doing another, you know? And oh man, I love playing video games and watching music videos online 
. Speaking of which, Julian Davis Reid's piano skills sound amazing! 
I mean, it's been a while since they last had one that's really their own. But, for real, $2 billion is a ton of cash and I don't know how they're gonna get all that from taxpayers alone. I'm not saying we shouldn't help out, but let's make sure everyone's on board with the plan, you know? 
And can we talk about how Julian Davis Reid's music is giving me LIFE?! 
what's up with lead pipe funding tho? states need help but congress is tryna cut funds 
. And can we please get some real updates on Soldier Field instead of just trying to get tax dollars for infrastructure? 
The lead pipe funding thing is all well and good, but let's not forget about our beloved Bears while they're busy playing politics 
. But hey, if a new stadium means better seats and more exciting games, I'm SO down 
. The state is willing to chip in, but only if the team can figure out how to pay off that existing debt first? That's a pretty steep condition to ask.
.
just heard that Congress is considering cutting $125 million in funding to replace toxic lead pipes 
meanwhile the Chicago Bears are thinking of getting a new stadium 
shouldn't we be focusing on making our communities safer and healthier instead of building fancy stadiums? 
but I guess that's just how politics works 
what do you guys think?
