How did it go from 'we are talking about/negotiating buying the Wells Fargo building to 'we expect to have the building purchased within the next two weeks."

WHAT THE HELL?

Did I miss the sale of the Atwood Building? Did I miss something about the 'state being broke so we have to rip off the people and steal the Permanent Fund Dividend or we can't continue to heat our offices by burning banknotes'? Did I miss the news article stating that our legislators had found a whole new pot of money they could blow on a new building to house the Corrupt Bastards Club in Anchorage? I think I must have because at last count the state was in the red for upwards of 4 BILLION dollars, and we needed to cut spending Right Now.

Apparently, the citizen outcry over wasteful spending on an illegally jiggered lease for an outrageously palatial personal downtown palace for the Royal Legislature was considered to be mere noise. It was made loud and clear, USE THE ATWOOD BUILDING.

Thieves, the lot of you.
