Arlington Heights school board hires lobbyist after new legislation filed on 'mega projects'

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - An Arlington Heights school district is now hiring a lobbyist after newly-filed legislation on "mega projects" like the Bears stadium.

It would also require the Bears to negotiate an annual payment along with property tax payments.
