[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Maryland is for losers....state has been on the decline for some time now....nothing there..[/quote]
Apparently VA is for gun lovers since the NRA chose to have its HQ there, and VA allows gun stores to open up next to schools.   You can keep both Amazon, the NRA, and the "don't tread on me" gun nuts.[/quote]
