Why aren't we hiring $100 an hour attorneys? I have no doubt excellent legal advice and help can be hired in this town for that rate.

They then incurred another $800 million in debt subsequent to the purchase to cover the cost of operating it. Yeah, I trust these clowns to make wise decisions.

What sort of financial advice costs 1.8M to 6.75M?

I could have given them some advice for free - send that money to the library instead.
