(And if legislators have it their way, it won’t be theirs either…)

From AZCentral:

Call it a sign of desperate times: Legislators are considering selling the House and Senate buildings where they’ve conducted state business for more than 50 years.

Apparently, the logic is…

“What are our choices?” asked McComish, a Phoenix Republican. “We could cut more, or we could raise taxes more. Borrowing over the long term, we think, is better for the people, better for the economy.”

Nevermind that by borrowing, they’ll have to raise taxes even more to cover the interest.  Why not just issue a bond?
