Promising Billions to Amazon: Is It a Good Deal for Cities?
Alicia Glen, the city’s deputy mayor for housing and economic development, said Amazon would probably get hardly any tax breaks
if it chose to locate its second headquarters in Midtown or Lower Manhattan, the city’s two traditional business centers.
“Nobody wants to get involved in it, nobody wants to have to do this,
but we’re in a competitive environment,” said Dennis M. Davin, secretary of community and economic development for Pennsylvania, where two cities — Philadelphia and Pittsburgh — are among the 20 finalists for the Amazon project.
Alluding to Amazon’s chief executive, Jeff Bezos, she added, “Why should the richest man in the history of the world get money to open his business?”
Indeed, tax incentives tend to flow overwhelmingly to big, established companies, rather than to the local start-ups
that research has shown are a more significant source of job growth.
But she said it was frustrating to watch local governments — three of the 20 finalists for the Amazon
project are in the Washington area — roll out the red carpet for a multibillion-dollar corporation.
Megan Randall, a researcher at the Urban Institute who studies economic development policy, said companies cared most about a talented work force, which requires good schools
and colleges, and amenities like affordable housing, parks and public transit that make a place desirable.
When New Jersey announced a $7 billion package of tax incentives to try to lure Amazon’s second headquarters to
Newark, local officials saw a chance to jump-start a city that has long struggled with poverty and joblessness.

The Good Rats are an American rock band from Long Island, New York. Their music mixes elements of rock with blues and pop. They are best-known on their native Long Island, although they had some success nationally and internationally.

While countless rockers started their careers in the New York suburb of Long Island before going on to worldwide success (Billy Joel, Twisted Sister, Steve Vai, Brian Setzer, Blue Öyster Cult, etc.), there have been countless acts that appeared poised for a breakthrough, but for whatever reason, fell short. Many longtime followers of Long Island-based rock would probably agree that tops on the “woulda/coulda/shoulda” list were the Good Rats, a group who played at some of the East Coast’s best-known/biggest venues (Madison Square Garden, Nassau Coliseum, the Philadelphia Spectrum) during the ’70s, while opening for such big names as Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss, Journey, Heart, Styx, Meat Loaf, and Rush, among others. Specializing in a tough form of bar band/hard rock (comparable to Led Zeppelin early on, before getting more commercial), quite a few bandmembers waltzed through the Good Rats’ ranks after their formation during the late ’60s, but through it all, lead vocalist Peppi Marchello was present.

Although some groups would have quickly given up because of all the turbulence the Good Rats experienced, Marchello and company admirably continued to soldier ahead — continuing to issue strong yet overlooked albums (1978’s Rats to Riches and Birth Comes to Us All, 1979’s Rat City in Blue, and 1981’s Great American Music, the latter of which featured future Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick). After laying low for a few years, Peppi put together a whole new version of the Good Rats in the early ’90s, featuring his son, guitarist Gene Marchello, who was a member of the short-lived-’80s pop-metal outfit Marchello. After their rebirth, the Good Rats began issuing all-new studio albums, including 1996’s Tasty Seconds and 2002’s Play Dum. The original lineup of the Good Rats was also known to sporadically reunite for gigs, such as a pair of shows in Rochester, New York, in October of 1998, which saw the “new” Good Rats open for the original Good Rats. However, after experiencing heart problems, Peppi Marchello underwent open-heart surgery in June 2013, and although the singer appeared to be recovering, he died from cardiac arrest the following month at the age of 68.

The band:
Peppi Marchello – lead vocals
Mickey Marchello – guitars & vocals
John Gatto – guitars
Lenny Kotke – bass & vocals
Joe Franco – drums
