PIX 11: Seattle lawmakers warn New Yorkers about what housing an Amazon headquarters involves

Local officials and those visiting from Seattle both say it's not too late to get a better deal for New Yorkers. The Amazon agreement still needs unanimous approval from the Public Authorities Control Board and the legislature will have to renew expiring tax credit programs and approve the budget for the project.

"You have the opportunity now to recuperate those taxes. You have the opportunity now to build in protections, to make sure that those labor standards are adhered to and there's funding for enforcement," said Mosqueda.

"The work of the people in this room, I believe has already gotten the Governor and the Mayor to the point where they regret making this deal," said State Senator Mike Gianaris.

At this point it's unclear if the state would face any penalties if the terms of the deal change. We reached out to Amazon for comment, but they did not respond to our request.
