$245 million in property tax breaks since 2018.

"Three former public officials in Morrow County
will each pay $2,000
to settle a state ethics complaint over their dealings with Amazon."

to Amazon data centers in the region
and to sell land to the company
for more data centers."
You all
Make me sick.
