Suit opposes use of AF barracks
A Lancaster County District Court judge was asked to restrain Lincoln from letting people arrive for Wounded Knee trials to shoot in an abandoned Air Force barracks. Franklin E. Quinn of Arnold filed against Mayor Schwartzkopf, the city council, and the Lincoln Airport Authority, arguing the plan wastes tax money, breaks municipal code, and risks private use of public property. Trials involving more than 100 people tied to the Wounded Knee takeover were moved to federal court later this month.
