Virginia Wants Lockheed Martin

It appears that the Commonwealth of Virginia is courting government contractor Lockheed Martin. Virginia governor Bob McDonnell told the Washington Post. Maryland, on the other hand, has already lost two defense contractors to Virginia, including Northrop Grumman which chose Virginia over Maryland for its global headquarters. It all started when a Maryland county council talked about passing a resolution asking Congress to spend less on wars, which irked Lockheed.
