Politicians never spend "our" money as carefully as we spend personal funds.  The FACT that they spent over $40,000,000 to renovate a building they didn't own was an absolute waste of OUR money.  Then they purchased another building they now want to renovate.  Do you consider this a good use of our money?  I sure don't.  Why would we give them more money to throw away?  They need to cut the budget.  Not impose taxes.  They don't know how to handle money.
