This is how it works. :-) Don’t act like you don’t know. LOL
Palmdale, and the Antelope Valley in general, is fortunate to have an employer of this caliber located here. Thousands of VERY good paying jobs pumping 100’s of millions $$ into the local economy.
Hah! Brown-nosing…. It’s called business. And what he is doing is hardly insulting. ;-)

Whom are you guys talking about? The only ‘Fox’ mentioned in the article is Eric Fox, Government Relations Director of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Fort Worth, TX.
The local state senator is STEVE KNIGHT. There is a new state Assemblyman named Steve Fox but he isn’t mentioned in the article. And, why would the other ‘Fox’ named Eric Fox be the only ‘brown-noser’?
