@peterjhasson You should know better. That 25k number was an unsubstantiated #, not a year 1 hiring figure. Nor was it a promise backed w/ consequences if it wasn’t met. 1,500 jobs off the bat is huge, & a much better deal than paying billions for a fairy tale that would’ve displaced many. — PolitiTweet.org

While we’re here, let’s clear up some GOP disinfo: - “It’s 1500 jobs vs 25,000”: The 25,000 jobs figure was a 10-20 year fantasy # from Amazon, not a promise or agreement. In exchange for that lack of commitment, they wanted billions of public $. Their Y1 jobs projection was 700. — PolitiTweet.org
