Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan Takes Cronyism to the Next Level With $5 Billion Bid for Amazon Headquarters
22nd January 2018
Amazon has narrowed the list of places where it might put its second headquarters down to 20. Maryland’s Republican governor, Larry Hogan, is so excited that Montgomery County made the shortlist that he’s offering Amazon a new $5 billion package of incentives.
“Amazon sent a clear signal that Maryland truly is open for business by selecting Montgomery County as one of an elite group of contenders for this transformative project,” Hogan said today as he unveiled the sycophantically named Promoting ext-Raordinary Innovation in Maryland’s Economy (PRIME) Act.
Not only is Maryland open for business, it appears to be for sale cheap.
Funny how Democrats who spend their working hours castigating rich people as the scum of the earth line up to kiss the butt of the richest one of all. But he’s a Democrat so that’s okay. I’m told that he’s officially a Republican. You can understand my natural mistake.

Or claims to be a Republican. John Lindsay was supposedly a Republican, too, but acted like a Democrat.
