"Police, fire protection, schools, prisons, child welfare, etc. can be taken care of by local city/county governments. No need for me to fund middle man jobs in OKC when, if I so wish, I can fund them here in Tulsa,,, and with better oversight and control of what the money is spent on and how its spent. Why on earth would I or anyone else want to spend 160 million to fix the Capitol building? The state doesn't exist to spend money on vanity projects. It supposedly exists to take care of those services mentioned above and do so in the most cost effective, efficient and effective, way possible. I bet it would cost less money to build a new building that would house the work that goes on in that Capitol building, and maintain it, than it would to repair the old one. Not to mention a lot of the people could be moved to some of the other buildings already at the Capitol complex, and add to that any money gained from selling off the old property to help reduce costs. If that's the case, then that danged well better be what is done. We aren't paying these people to sit around in some Emperors grandiose palace, they are there to do a job, again, in the least expensive and most effective way possible, period. THAT would be a conservative government I could be proud of, THAT would be a conservative state I could be proud of. I don't need a fancy building, representing a vain wasteful liberal government imo, as some false stand in for that."
