Foster, I agree that the WF building is much cheaper than the Taj MaHawker. My point is, did we truly need to purchase any building for any reason with the current budget crisis that we are experiencing? I think the answer is a resounding NO. It's common knowledge that there is room in the Atwood building to accommodate the Anchorage legislature and the State already owns it. Granted, some renovations and adjustments would need to be made, but my bet is that the costs associated with those changes would be far, far less than what was and still is being spent on the Wells Fargo building. And the jury is still out on what the costs were and are to get the WF building up to the standards of some of the over inflated egos within the current legislature.There have been several viable suggestions from more moderate legislators that were much less expensive, but they were never considered seriously, apparently because those suggestions came from those not in a majority at the time.
