The State Senate put Michael Gianiaris in a position to veto it. Gianiaris called the deal "unacceptable." He said "If their view is we want your $3 billion or we're leaving, maybe they should leave." He said he wanted to renegotiate the deal from scratch.
Maybe that was just his opening position, and maybe he would have softened up once in a meeting room, but if I were in Amazon's shoes I wouldn't expect to get what I'd been offered, and I'd be pretty worried about getting mugged after setting up shop too.
