My hometown, in the news

Fresno is bidding for the Amazon warehouse, and offered a dictatorship to Jeff.
But the most far-reaching offer is from Fresno, California. That city of half a million isn’t offering any tax breaks. Instead it has a novel plan to give Amazon special authority over how the company’s taxes are spent. 
 Fresno promises to funnel 85 percent of all taxes and fees generated by Amazon into a special fund. That money would be overseen by a board, half made up of Amazon officers, half from the city. They’re supposed to spend the money on housing, roads and parks in and around Amazon.
Jeff will make me ride a bike to headquarters, then steal all my stuff on sandbox tech.  Only the unions can save us now, hopefully they will exercise their dictatorship before Jeff.
