Indiana also asked Lake and Porter counties to adopt a one percent food and beverage tax and for Lake County to pass a five percent inn-keeper's tax.Meanwhile in Illinois, officials are trying to convince the Bears to stay. Illinois lawmakers are considering a bill that would give the Bears a long-term property tax break for construction of a stadium in Arlington Heights.The Bears get the 25th pick in the draft coming up in April in Pittsburgh.
