I agree with most of your post, with the exception of  "$32.5 million vs $12.5 million." They don't need to buy anything, there is already space available that the state owns to accommodate an Anchorage LIO. They are doing nothing more now than stroking their egos because our governor  rightfully shut them down by telling them that he would veto the purchase of the existing Anchorage LIO. Hopefully Governor Walker will do the same thing regarding any plan to purchase any building for any reason, until they can do the job that they were sent to Juneau to do.
