Quietly, Arizona Goes Through with Sale of Capitol

There was a lot of joking about this last year, because the Daily Show featured the idea as kooky.  But after the hype, one was left with the impression that the state wasn't actually going to go ahead with it.

A year later, one wonders.  Did they?  I hadn't heard anything in the news about it.  Well, that's because there wasn't any mention.  The Arizona Republic didn't mention the sale until 6 months after Brewer's office put out a press release on the sale on January 14, 2010.
