Arizona Considers Selling Capitol Buildings
Things are so bad in Arizona that legislators are considering selling the House and Senate buildings where they've met and worked for more than 50 years. Dozens of other state properties may also be sold. The plan is to sell the properties and then lease them back over several years before assuming ownership again. "We've mortgaged the legislative halls," said an exasperated state Rep. Steve Yarbrough, a Chandler Republican. "That just tells you how extraordinary the times are. To me, it's something we're going to have to do no matter how much we find it undesirable." I bet they could get a great price on the Grand Canyon.
Arizona's actual long-term plan is to sell all of their Capitol buildings and replace them with Lowercase buildings and pocketing the difference in caost.
Is this like monopoly? I tend to lose not long after I have to start mortgaging my properties to the bank.

...in yesterday's post on Mike Shedlock's blog. He makes a telling point: "Bear in mind, you can only sell the Capital Building once. Then what? Is anyone looking ahead?"

If you already can buy the politicians who work there, what could be the problem of being able to buy the building itself?

Do the buildings go "ping"?

Who'd want to buy the house where the economy of Arizona died? I heard it was murdered.
