2. The Legislature finds that the State House Complex, consisting of the State House, the State House Annex, and the adjacent environs, embodies and exemplifies a rich and valued resource of historical, architectural, cultural and artistic significance; that it is of singular importance that this heritage, and the traditions and values it represents, be identified, displayed and protected; that this historic complex, as the home of the State Legislature and the Office of the Governor, must also be maintained in a state of modern repair so as to ensure the safe, efficient and effective conduct of official business and public functions; and that restoration and preservation of the State House Complex can be best met through the establishment of a governing structure with equal representation from both the legislative and executive branches.
