Yup I agree with mayor of San Antonio. Amazon already knows where it will plant its 2nd HQ. Amaxon is just trying to get extra incentives from the local government.

Yeah, that sounds right. I am getting a bit sick of all the companies following the lead of Hollywood and professional sports stadiums doing the shakedown game.

Then elect representatives that won't play.

The shakedown is only possible because it offers some value in return.
