California state lawmakers are considering a billion-dollar project to demolish and replace the 1950's annex on the East side of the Capitol building, which houses the Governor's office and legislator offices and hearing rooms. Supporters argue the structure is outdated, opponents argue a renovation of the existing annex is a better use of funds.
