Pool Funding Battle Heats Up | Lincoln News

Lincoln’s city council faces a major budget showdown as they eye a $20 million spending boost for 2027-2028—funding more first responders, police hires, and inflation-fighting upgrades—with most residents backing the plan. But the spotlight’s also on the stalled Meadowlane Pool renovation, which needs a final $150K to reopen—and council can’t agree on how to pay it. Supporters are rallying, saying this one-time fix is vital for community access. Councilman Bowers plans to push a new amendment this week, with a vote set for next Wednesday. The full budget vote? Later this August, pending that pool decision. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
