As part of its deal with Amazon, which has based one of its new headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, the state will give Amazon two days notice of any Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests filed against it “to allow the Company to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.”
According to the Washington Examiner, “The Commonwealth agreed to give Amazon a two-day notice prior to the release of any materials submitted as part of the agreement between the two parties under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act to allow the tech giant to ‘seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.'”
“The government will also work with Amazon on record requests to redact portions of the materials to ‘the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,'” the Washington Examiner continued, adding that helicopter access was also part of the deal, so Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos can fly into the headquarters.

I truly thinks it is time we start talks about splitting this country between conservatives and the socialist. Maybe each state or region needs to be a sovereign nation.
Concessions - they are a reality in this day/age!
Stop using Amazon and shop at your neighborhood stores. Help your local businesses.
Helicopter should be no problem. National airport is right there in Crystal City VA. Lots of tall buildings with heli pad landings.
