I think it's unrealistic to expect Wilmington to throw behind a Philly bid even though it SHOULD as it's not an independently viable location for Amazon. But the relationship between Philly and Wilmington is more akin to Baltimore and DC (each submitting its own bid) than Chevy Chase -- an incorporated town of less than 3,000 -- and DC. Chevy Chase is coordinating with DC in support of its bid. Pretty sure New York, Newark, and Manhattan are all going to be submitting independent bids.
The Bensalem stuff is just chickenshit. Irritating because it's the same state and Wolf and co. should be able to get them to fall in line, but it seems silly for Amazon to ding us for their dumb bid.
