[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad MOCO didn’t sell their souls to Amazon. All those tax breaks and incentives are a form of government assistance, aka welfare to the employees.[/quote]

Except for the fact Virginia negotiated a great deal, and didn't "sell its soul." It gave Amazon less than HALF the incentives that NYC did, and nothing close to that $8 billion whopper MD offered. New York ends up paying about $60,000 per job for HQ2, Virginia will pay $23,000 per job. But yeah, we're so much better off without Discovery. Or Amazon. Or whatever.  :roll:  [/quote]

+1  Virginia's incentives are among the lowest yet they won the bid.  MoCo's basically threw themselves at Amazon with it's $8B bid and still nothing.  I am a MoCo resident and getting disturbed by Maryland's inability to attract more businesses.  All I see is residential homes popping up and no real plans to accommodate the new population.  If you think your public schools with a 28:1 kid ratio with no aid, I can't imagine what it will be like in a few years.[/quote]
