As a born and long time NYC resident... I am so unhappy about this, I cannot even tell you. Why can't we put $2B in the MTA's pocket? Or schools? Or healthcare?

As a born and long time NYC resident... I am so unhappy about this, I cannot even tell you. Why can't we put $2B in the MTA's pocket? Or schools? Or healthcare? Or affordable housing? Or almost anything other than Bezos's pocket?
I did vote against Cuomo even as I helped flip our one NYC Republican district to Democrat, so I did everything I could as a voter.
We need a law/constitutional amendment preventing this sort of thing. Companies are abusing governments with these tactics and deals. I was also against our government's subsidies of the two NYC stadiums (Yankees and Mets) and arena (Nets).
