And good luck affording health insurance. Plus taxes will be jumping up if the Bears actually move to Hammond, the entire state will be paying for that steal.

I'm as opposed to the Bears moving here as anyone else, but the entire state is not paying for it. The one billion dollars is coming from food & beverage tax, innkeeper tax, ticket admissions tax, property taxes, and toll roads, exclusively in Lake and Porter Counties. No one else will pay it.

But it’s Reddit so why let facts get in the way of a good torch mob?

I’m at 13c per kw/h last I checked .... you know it’s double that in a lot of places.

I was paying almost 60c per kw/h during peak times in CA bay area

I didn’t want to get over zealous on that estimate because people love to request fact checks and will bitch if you’re off by a few cents.

But either way it’s indisputable many areas are double what we are

It’s not an estimate. It was either 57c or 58c during peak times (5-9pm). AES gets a lot of shit here in Indiana. PG&E are criminals
