Let me echo the sentiments of many other commentators.  We do not need to buy any buildings.  We do not even need actual LIO offices.  Modern technology can do the job.   I like the idea of using schools and other existing buildings for local meetings when needed. In any case the legislature does not listen to the people they represent.  I for one am against any form of taxation or restructure of Permanent Fund until the legislature cleans up its own act.
