I honestly don't believe Senior Democrats fully realize the damage this woman and her ilk are doing to their brand.

But I think they'll see it soon in polls.

Ever hear of the WalkAway campaign that is growing hourly? Sane RATs are leaving; insane ones are all they have now.

Either that, or like a typical far-left ideologue.

For what?!

This stupid “economics scholar” (like a certain constitutional scholar we all know and love) doesn’t understand that tax credits aren’t real money and that amazon would’ve increased funding to the city and state both by direct taxes, infrastructure improvements and, of course, all those new high paying jobs that would’ve increased housing values and this property taxes.

She’s taking a victory lap for destroying jobs in America. She’s taking a victory lap for destroying commerce in America and next she’s going to run around and complain that there’s not enough tax money for her to implement her magickal green plan.

She does have a point about the corporate welfare (3 giga-bucks in tax breaks).

“”The deal would have meant an estimated 25,000 new jobs for the city.””

Why on earth would she shed a tear of losing that many jobs when her plan is to pay people who don’t work anyway? What a pig! We already know from seeing her “man on the street” constituents, they don’t know which side is up anyway! Already on the dole so what’s the big deal!

While I get the value a company coming to my city can offer, I seriously disagreed with giving a multi-billion dollar company billions in corporate welfare to pick this city.

If the city wants to give away money to help businesses grow here, it could provide tax and regulatory relief to the many mom-and-pop businesses that try to make a go of it. While that would still be corporate welfare, at least it would be to more needy businesses.

Better still, try to make this a great place to start a business for anyone and everyone without government giveaways and watch the jobs come pouring in.

Congratulations to the Yawkies. Keeping jobs out of there gets you off the hook for having to find a job. Free stuff only!

Jobs and tax revenue gone; wonder what Cuomo thinks since he blames Florida for the loss of tax revenue before he blamed Trump?

Typical communist mindset - success only comes from her and in HER way.

So WHEN (not if) she offers a deal for what she wants (like her magickal green unicorn) it’ll be a good thing.
