Okay, the Mausoleum I get and to a certain extent the school (ie: buying them a new wing) but why would you buy "State Assets" like the Police Station, City Hall or the Military Base? I mean, it works for if you want to play a corruption game where you work a sim up to owning a town Mafia-style, but realistically those things are public / government ventures and not privately owned or operated.

Well, the school might be privately operated, but buying the CITY HALL, the POLICE DEPARTMENT, and the MILITARY? Even if you're enabling them to be bought for corruption purposes, they're still not PROFITABLE institutions that you can COLLECT MONEY from. Since when has the MILITARY ever made a PROFIT?
Thunderwolf:
Directly not, but you know how this works these days.

What would happen with the military is you'd give $20,000 to grease a general's elbows. Then he grants you no-bid contracts on mowing the lawn and stuff and has the government pay you $7K every week for it. He's happy because he got money in his pocket, you are happy because you got money in your pocket... and the kid down the street is happy because you gave him $20 to do the actual mowing. Win win win for everyone! (besides maybe those pesky tax payers)
