There was still lots of local pressure from Chambers of Commerce type folks to get cities involved. And if they didn't apply, civic leaders would be accused of being anti-jobs. So a lot of pressure to get involved even if not straight from Mr. Bezos.

That's life in government, I guess. It's as if they were elected precisely for the purpose of making tough decisions that affect everyone.
