From 40,000 feet, it is so obvious.  The developers conspired with the legislators and executed an illegal lease.  The people and the state and the legislature got screwed (although the legislature never felt it as it was the state and people's money.)  So, basically, the guy that screwed us now wants to sell the building to the state.  The legislators like the building, they underestimate the lasting hate of what it represents, and they think it will go away with time.  And they still trust the owners that screwed us all.  It would be nice if they paid no more rent on the lease that no really doesn't exist and got the hell out of the building, AND went after what was stolen.  And the building would have to face the free market, free from an easy, illegal lease and free from payments by government, at any level.  Then we'll see what the real lease rates are, and what the building is really worth, without the corruption.  Mr. Walker sees it with the appropriate objectivity.
