@ Ken Archer:Do you disagree with the strategic importance of the tech sector to DC?

What tech sector in DC? AOL, CSC and the Amazon servers are in NoVa. Your own company is in NoVa.

Does DC perhaps have an overflow of high-tech unemployed? No, because DCs academic students flee the city as fast as they can after being harrassed for years by their neighboring ANCs.

What DC does have is an overflow of very poorly educated and hence difficult to employ people. They are not gonna get a job in the tech sector.

Also:the DC tech sector is well situated to replace lost jobs and demand for office space

Fantastic! If they're doing well, then why the request for corporate welfare? Also, 7 small companies are not going to replace the tens of thousands of jobs that are being lost by government contractors that are mostly based in NoVa and MD.

And why to the tech sector, and not the [random other] sector?

And why should DC favor any sector over other sectors?

If you want to ask DC to become more business friendly, then you've got a point, but I disagree with any favoritism for any specific business sector.

America is a free market place. Let's keep the market free from government favoritism and corporate welfare.
