## Caption

The politically influential leader of the Chicago Teachers Union and the Illinois Federation of Teachers has taken a lead role in recent weeks attempting to stall or block the Bears PILOT legislation – a bill the team has said it needs to pass before it can begin building a new stadium and megadevelopment in Arlington Heights.

Stacy Davis Gates and the IFT got involved in the battle when they wrote a letter last month to Illinois Legislative Leaders imploring them to squash the bill, arguing that it would lead to property tax increases for homeowners.
