They ain't liquid enough to pay those estate taxes. The vast majority of their "wealth" is tied up in owning the team. Some of the family have done well in their side ventures, but the vast majority are living off the Bears ownership. That bill will come due when she dies.

As for my little Village, they sure stepped on their crank with this one. Although Cook County 10000% sales chased the valuation (would love KByrnes to weigh in on the value going from 30 million to 190 million after the sale). That the schools dug their heals in for an upfront pay day was problematic, but here we are. The Village's only hope is the Friends of the Parks, aka the people who hate Star Wars




Help us Obi Wan, you're our only hope...
