Hmm seems pretty straight forward.  Except we don't have a facility for holding meetings and sessions, so there's that.  And please don't tell me renting the Denaina or Egan would be cheaper than using a building we own.  And also don't tell me the Wells Fargo building would work because it wouldn't.

Then there's the expense of housing all the support staff that live in Juneau to come here and make it all work.  I'm not talking about legislative staff either.

How about television?  Should gavel to gavel pay their own way up here to televise for the rest of us not able to drive to Anchorage or don't we matter?  If we do, then add that to your bill.

I would bet that it's not nearly so straight forward as you think and would be willing to bet you are completely wrong.  

I know city folks want everything in Anchorage.  The folks in Fairbanks and off the road system (in my opinion) don't care and would probably like the chance to watch it on TV if they're interested.
