take a minute to read today's t-p :: Flood damaged state office building, state Supreme Court finally demolished
"Finally" demolished? And yet the close of the article admits the building has been demolished even AFTER the plan for its replacement structure is no longer in place. It's obscene.
"However, the need for a new building evaporated when the state and Saints owner Tom Benson agreed on plans for the state to lease office space in the nearby Dominion Tower building. The state now plans to leave the sites of the former office building and Supreme Court building vacant for the foreseeable future."
Unfortunately our foreseeable future still lacks a leader with a VISION.
