It's not a net loss to the local government. It's a loss to Amazon's competitors that don't get those tax breaks. That local government is picking winners rather than provide a level playing field, and enriching themselves in the process. It's essentially bribery for favors but payed with tax revenue instead of under-the-table cash. By all means, lower your taxes if you think it will attract jobs. But lower them for everyone.
