Amazon should also recognize that with MONMOUTH, a Republican County, they will not be shaken down every other year by the CORRUPT DEMOCRAT MACHINE.

Mon Exec airport is close by for small/charter flights… probably not the worst place for Amazon, aside from NJs dem voting habit and stupid high taxes.
someone get Chris Smith on it… he likes to rescue lost folks, and this area is lost.
