Message: <blockquote data-quote="Allen" data-source="post: 410245" data-attributes="member: 389"><p>Umm, write offs are for taxpayers, not tax collectors.</p><p></p><p>There are a couple of reasons the State leases office space versus building their own.  First and foremost, this is a state inhabited by mostly Republicans.  Republicans as a general rule, want to contract out as much of government functions as possible.  In this example, they would prefer to see a private enterprise make a buck out of renting to the state.</p><p></p><p>Secondly, and somewhat irrespective of the above, renting allows the State to be more nimble (well, as nimble as government can be) when it comes to a changing workforce.  If you build, that's a long-term commitment and comes with risk, both natural and economic.  Thus, the State can always pull out and go a cheaper route at the end of the rental term.</p></blockquote><p></p>
