Our town

Hey, Fort Wayne was ahead of the curve on one -- we've already had this fight here:

David Rubin wants to be able to put political signs in his yard.

This was much ado about nothing, eh?

The Anthony Wayne Statue will remain at Freimann Square following a deal made Tuesday between the City of Fort Wayne and the Allen County Courthouse Preservation Trust.

This still seems wrong to me:

East Allen County Schools board voted Tuesday night to allow homeschooled students to participate on the district's high school athletic teams.

EACS officials believe the district is the first in the state to allow homeschooled athletes to play for IHSAA member schools.

At least they're not in denial. Maybe that's a sign things will improve:

The Chief of Staff at the VA Northern Indiana Healthcare System has reviewed the Department of Veterans Affairs inspection of its hospital and it agrees with the findings.

A one-month suspension is being served by Fort Wayne Police Officer James Arnold, accused of using excessive force, and the case might result in a change in the way the department handles such cases:

Richard Florida wants to have it both ways on Detroit. On the one hand, that city, like the rest of the Rust Belt, is doomed, doomed, doomed. Might as well give the few people left bus tickets out of town, tear the place down and start over:

Good for Parkview:

It was more a matter of not knowing “what the exact mission was going to be at Randallia,” he said. “The size. The scope. The number of rooms that we would use.”

New Metropolitan Human Relations Commission Executive DirectorDawn Cummings explains what the agency does:

Metro combines law enforcement with education and outreach, Cummings explained, with types of discrimination falling into three groups: overt, covert and unconscious.

Wow, no hyperbole here, huh?

Fort Wayne City Council members Tuesday approved increasing the local option income tax from 1 percent to 1.35 percent, a move they said was necessary to pay for critical gaps in police, fire, parks and roads.

This is a tricky one to comment on:

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Merlin Seslar Jr. spent Monday packing his belongings into a U-Haul and moving across town.

"I'm sad to leave my home, but I have to protect my child, protect myself and protect everything I own," Seslar said.
