It's not lip service by the governor. She's the one that wanted this project. It's the state senate making idle threats. They know that the state house will never quash this, so they are just making a statement.
And, no, no one else could fit the space. It's being built specifically for the needs of the state police, so even if another tenant were found, they'd have to do quite a bit of work work it around a new department.
