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.

    Is this like monopoly? I tend to lose not long after I have to start mortgaging my properties to the bank.

    The way to win monopoly is to gobble things up early, even mortgaging if you have to. Then later in the game everything is yours and people can't make a move anymore without paying you huge amounts of money. Makes the game very frustrating ... but not for you.

    "Troll"? Actually the guy has a valid point.

  3. Figure it out! STATE OF ARIZONA is a corporation. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Notice how in the Consolidated Anual Financial Report for this State discusses the verry financing? It has nothing about Arizona, but what is on Arizona; a corporation that can sue and be sued, make claims, mortgage and lease no different than any other corporation, and deceptively named "State of Arizona" and referenced indirectly in the Uniform Commericial Code as "this State" and such.

    In law, "state" could refer in the American-english slang as mental-State or it could refer to the original latin as soil-State. You just need to Study the statu(t)es as to what they re-present or rep-resent.

    Over in Congress of the United States of America, which has been supressed by a Washignton,DC corporation known as U.S. Congress, there was a title of nobility created called The State which is no different than a chair/position at a table/land. If the people are not holding this position, then a corporation STATE OF ARIZONA occupies The State. That's how the pen folds, friends. Sorry it must be this way, but that's what the deception of the alleged Civil War from the Crown of Brittain. Also, consider studying the difference between The United States (singular) to the united States (plural) in the First Judiciary Act, where the only way to determine the difference is in the Savings to Suitors Clause where it refers to a claimant in contrast of what The United States "is" a party to what The United States "are" a party.

    Also, consider Title 28 USCode 3002 15(b) where "United States", not The United States and not the united States of America, is "a federal corporation."

    If you want to know how this works together, then discover how different the "Unsword Declarations clause" accorded in US Code is to each of these differences;

    TITLE 28 > PART V > CHAPTER 115 > 1746

    1746. Unsworn declarations under penalty of perjury

    Wherever, under any law of the United States or under any rule, regulation, order, or requirement made pursuant to law, any matter is required or permitted to be supported, evidenced, established, or proved by the sworn declaration, verification, certificate, statement, oath, or affidavit, in writing of the person making the same (other than a deposition, or an oath of office, or an oath required to be taken before a specified official other than a notary public), such matter may, with like force and effect, be supported, evidenced, established, or proved by the unsworn declaration, certificate, verification, or statement, in writing of such person which is subscribed by him, as true under penalty of perjury, and dated, in substantially the following form:
    (1) If executed without the United States: I declare (or certify, verify, or state) under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on (date). (Signature).
    (2) If executed within the United States, its territories, possessions, or commonwealths: I declare (or certify, verify, or state) under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on (date). (Signature).

    Someone appears to have mistaken the "-1 troll" moderation for the "-1 disagrees with me about taxes" or "-1 ignorant of the matter at hand."

    While I think his post was maybe... dumb... it doesn't seem like trolling to me.
