Are you kidding me ?   First , who cares what Pat Flynn thinks ?  His last day on the assembly will be a day for Anchorage taxpayers to celebrate . Second , how on earth can a story be written mentioning the cost of the downtown building being 32.5 million WITHOUT mentioning the Spenard location which will only cost 12.5 million ?  Any reasonable person would conclude that saving 20 million is way better than trying to shame legislators into staying downtown.  On top of that , the Spenard location offers 4000 sq. feet more AND tons of free parking.   The new liberal assembly is bad news for Anchorage. First they won't give the 15 million surplus back to the taxpayers and now they want the state to pay 20 million too much for a new building.
