So who bought all that, I wonder? Investment group? Foreign nationals?

OK. I've thought about this for a few minutes and still cannot come up with any outcome to this other than FAIL.
Am I off track here? ETA: They owned the properties outright, then sold them and now have a mortgage on them. This is supposed to be better? |

Sweet. My state's playing the credit card shell game.

I bet sold to foreign investors.
The state loses. The taxpayers lose. etc. Don't cut the fucking budget and bullshit programs - sell your capital to Australia and then lease the motherfucker back. |

Quoted:
Link State sells 20 properties for $735 million by Frank Camacho Posted on January 14, 2010 at 11:55 AM ****** PHOENIX –– The state sold more than 20 properties Thursday, including prisons, the state Capitol and both legislative chambers, for $735.4 million at a targeted interest rate at just over 4 percent. That means the state should be able to make it through fiscal year 2010. Ironically, the money has already been spent. It is a sale-leaseback deal. The state will continue to lease the buildings and in 20 years should be able to buy all the property back. did they actually sign a 20 year lease???...if not I would love to see the buyer not renew their lease next year....or raise their rent. |

Mortgaged property by people who can't afford it because they don't live within their means? Hmmmm....

Just wait till they run out of "their" properties and start doing it with "ours". Not like the taxpayers didn't pay for the buildings they just sold... And not like the taxpayers aren't leasing those same buildings... Also the taxpayers who after 20 years of paying rent, who will buy them yet again! Holy fuck boys.  |

So, now McCain owns all of the buildings, and he is now leasing them back to the state?

Let private companies hire workers to maintain, manage, etc rather than having a bloated state .gov hire overpaid workers to do worse work. |

They sold taxpayer owned property without the REAL owners having a say in the matter. Remember that at the voting booth.

Wow, I though most here were anti big government.
Why in the world do we want the .gov in the business of property ownership, management, and maintenance? Just think of all the .gov jobs and employees that are overpaid to do things that the private sector should be doing. |

A lot of companies do this (I think Wal-Mart & a few other large retailers), but I think more for tax/accounting reasons.
Development of state parks is next. |

I think this is totally insane....The only possible thing they could hope to be saving is the building/grounds maintenance and I dont believe they are not smart enough to have the new owners be held responsible for that in the lease.
