DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN: Reading accounts by Telegram City Hall reporter Steve Foskett and former Worcesteria columnist Bill Shaner about the Planning Board review of the proposed Amazon Warehouse at the site of the deceased Greendale Mall, I was struck by the situation's familiarity. Corporate predators such as Amazon have long insinuated their selves into Worcester, as they have almost everywhere in the country, usually scoring tax credits for promising jobs that always turn out to be insufficient and underwhelming. Amazon, particularly, has had issues with low pay and back-breaking labor conditions, so it's easy to see why many want no part of them, although those same people aren't canceling their Prime subscriptions. (Mine just recommended "Rules for Radicals" by Saul D. Alinsky. I think our corporate overlords have developed a sense of humor.) But as Shaner points out, none of that's the purview of the Planning Board, so the warehouse is probably going through, with the best we can hope for being that it's not tax subsidized. For all of that, though, there was something different from the usual script in this one: There was pushback.
