Amazon just announced their picks.  They have said previously that transit was an important consideration.  Will LIRR's LIC terminal get upgraded?  As I recall Crystal City was on VRE?

Amazon pandering for corporate welfare.

The last paragraph of late today's NewsWire story seems to nix upgrades at LIC, however, since Amazon just made the anouncment today, I would give LIRR a little time to think about it.
