Lister Blocked

My apologies for the lack of posting, I've been trying to wrap my head around the current Lister Block fiasco. Rather than finally broker a deal with LIUNA that would see the aging landmark put to use, city council voted 9-6 against the proposed deal in favour of "staying the course."

Perfect. Three years later, and the building will continue to sit empty over a $50,000 discrepancy. I respect city council's efforts to protect Hamilton taxpayers, but if that was the case all along, why sink $25 million into buying the property from LIUNA in the first place?
