Austin has been mentioned because of no Income Tax in Texas for people who may relocate from Seattle. Online articles are purely opinion pieces, but I really haven't seen Philly highlighted in any of them.

We're in it. But to be in it to win it, we need Penn/Drexel President's, CHOP Leadership, Comcast leadership, Brandywine leadership, Science Center leadership to ALL publicly and behind closed doors push massively for this. This isn't just about the direct impact Amazon jobs will have. This is about all of the peripheral impacts that come with it...so yes, that includes CHOP.
And Philly/PA must put up a ton of incentives. With a State who can't seem to figure out how to balance and approve a budget, I worry that they won't throw much towards Amazon.
