Bids are being accepted for the estimated $500,000 demolition of Lincoln School. The city council in a majority vote spent $53,000 in taxpayer funds to purchase the National Landmark building, in the hopes someone or some corporation would take it off its hands and rehabilitate it. Meanwhile, it sat there for five years without even minimum maintenance.
Prudent use of taxpayer funds?
