Should The Massachusetts State House Move to Springfield?

In the latest edition of Boston Magazine, former Boston city councilor Mike Ross puts forth a provocative idea: sell the Massachusetts State House and move the capital to Springfield.

The idea might sound far-fetched, but Ross writes that Springfield is "New England's version of Detroit" and that moving the capital there could save a "dying city."
