You can tell Andrew Cuomo that we're more than happy to have these jobs in Alabama.

Andrew would never really understand real jobs. I don't believe he's ever had work one. If not for his last name, he certainly wouldn't be governor of New York.

Again, Andy, we're very happy to have these jobs in Alabama.

I hope they will be cranking out their new R-51 handgun. It was the hottest ticket at the SHOT show this winter.

I visited Huntsville for work a few years ago and the people there are really nice, warm and genuine.

Unlike the drones here in Maryland.

Huntsville was known as "the Rocket City"..because of its ties to the space program ( the Saturn rockets that sent men tot he moon were built there..)

So maybe the new Remington R-51 should be nicknamed "the pocket rocket"

I lived in Huntsville for several years and loved the place. This sounds like a great opportunity for them.

I read in some book years ago that the German rocket scientists who were brought to Huntsville, really liked the place.

They contacted relatives back home and quite a few of them came to live in Huntsville.

Sooner or later, these liberal clowns are going to do for New York what libs have done for Detroit.

I hate it for the good people of New York.

Thank you brother. There are actually good people left in this state. Our input is totally negated by one city.

“Drones” is too kind of a word to describe the liberals/leftists and great uneducated of Maryland, esp. Baltimore.

How about ‘Marxist zombies’, “Dumb-as-dogcrap”, “O’Malley’s Marxist minions”, Democraps, and “the downfall of America”.

I left Baltimore in 1966 and only returned for family or business. Now it is only for a dental visit and a Star Trek Convention.

A once great city is now an “Democrat Shitty on Steroids” and the dumb are getting dumber and the Democrats are keeping that way.

Montgomery County is for the rich libs and reds who run that county like a Plantation - welfare addiction to govt programs and keep the good paying jobs for the white liberal elites. PG county seems to be trying to turn itself around (how did that go for the Titanic?). Well, after you put half the government in jail, you might find an honest politician under all that corruption. Wish them well but parts of it are still a criminal’s heaven and an honest citizen’s hell.

Well, good for them. I think they’ll do well down in Huntsville and it’s nice to see potential new jobs these days.

Many years ago, my dad met some of them (including Von Braun) and even played golf with a few. Those were some brilliant dudes. Thank God the Russians did not get them.

Cuomo is a disaster for this state and America this disaster awaits you if you elect Hillary Clinton as your next President. New York politicians specialize in wrecking economies. I live in upstate New York and I watched it deteriorate over the last 50+ years. The Republicans are no better with most of them being RINOS. For example my Republican congressman Gibson is a sellout and now can be classified as a RINO. To make make matters worse he is running against a homosexual who is married to one of the founders of Facebook. Whoever wins will be a loss for New York State citizens. I’m glad we can still move to a more hospitable state when we are ready to go.

LOL. Huntsville is a good fool-me-once location. If Alabama tries to tax them too much Tennessee is only about a mile away.

“I hate it for the good people of New York”

Obviously NY is devoid of enough good people. After all they overwhelmingly voted in a Communist as Mayor, and a Socialist as Gov.

ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
