Fort Wayne’s City Councilman Russ Jehl is pushing Google to prove it’s honoring its promises on jobs, investment, and city spending from land sales — while demanding a permanent oversight board. But Community Development Director Jonathan Leist fires back, calling Jehl’s resolutions flawed and unsupported by his office, insisting Google is already way ahead: 85 full-time jobs (vs. 30 promised), $3.5B invested (vs. $845M target), and wages over $91K — way above the required 125%. Leist clarifies only one project — a childcare center — was earmarked for land sale funds, now redirected to affordable senior housing, with strict reinvestment rules. On the oversight board, Leist says it needs rethinking but is open to collaboration — even offering Mayor’s office support — to find common ground.

A semi-truck flipped on U.S. 24 near Roanoke, Indiana, spilling cargo and shutting down eastbound lanes for hours—caused by a last-second swerve to avoid a slowing pickup. No injuries, but cleanup took until mid-morning. Drivers are urged to avoid the area and keep space for crews restoring normal traffic flow.

The federal government doles out over $1.2 trillion annually in grants—funds that don’t need to be repaid—to nonprofits, universities, local governments, and students for public interest projects. Historically awarded based on merit and criteria, not politics, a new proposal from the Office of Management and Budget seeks to align grant funding with the President’s policy goals, potentially handing more power to politically appointed officials. Critics warn this could shift funding away from expert reviews and community needs toward political ideology, creating unpredictability and chilling vital research and programs. While the administration claims this will prevent waste and ensure alignment with core purposes, past examples suggest priorities may shift with administration preferences. Public comments are open, with changes potentially taking effect next fiscal year—and facing possible legal or congressional roadblocks. The debate hinges on balancing political accountability with the integrity of neutral, expert-driven grantmaking.

Fort Wayne’s Community Harvest Food Bank just hit a major milestone, collecting nearly 20,000 pounds of food thanks to a huge community turnout at WANE 15’s Founder’s Day of Caring — a little more than last year’s haul. Hundreds showed up to donate food and cash, proving how powerful local generosity can be. While shelves are stocked for now, the food bank urges ongoing support — because every contribution matters in feeding neighbors year-round.

Fort Wayne’s Southeast Corridors Planning Project aims to transform nine miles of busy streets—including South Anthony Blvd and Fairfield Ave—into safer, more connected spaces for walkers, bikers, drivers, and everyone. Backed by the U.S. Department of Transportation, this initiative seeks to rethink how these roads serve all residents, businesses, and schools. The city is actively seeking community input via a survey—deadline end of June—so locals can directly shape the future of their neighborhoods. Your voice matters. Your neighborhood’s future starts with your input.
