Amazon Deal Sets a New Low

Posted on behalf of occasional contributor Les Schreiber:

It’s interesting to see the responses to the Amazon deal. Most of what you read in Virginia-based media is positive, but in New York not so much. Many who scream about the “nanny state” and too much welfare and government interference in the economy seem happy with a massive gift to one of the country’s most profitable companies. If Amazon wants to locate in Virginia, great, but handouts are not appropriate. I thought the Redskin training camp deal was bad enough, but this sets a new low.
