The state needs to cut their loses and pony up . They signed the agreement . Like it or not , our state reps signed the deal . We might as well pay now , before it's more later.   You don't special order a car and months later get to take it back. Same with this building . We ordered all the bells and special paint job . We owe the money . The state will lose in court and be required to pay damages above what we could have settle for.    Like it or not , the owners gave us the building we wanted. They shouldn't be left holding our bag.
