Fort Wayne’s City Council rejected a $2.75 million proposal for an Anchor Resource Center aimed at helping the homeless — but the need remains urgent. With shelters like Josephine’s Place turning away hundreds of women each month and the Salvation Army lacking year-round capacity, advocates say a centralized hub could have made critical services more accessible. Though funding was denied, Mayor Sharon Tucker vows to keep pushing for solutions, even as no new plan is on the table yet.

A damning internal investigation in Grant County has uncovered explosive allegations against a commissioner—wiretapping, bribery, retaliation, abuse of power, illegal surveillance, vote buying, and violations of ADA and FMLA laws. Fifteen witnesses describe intimidation, physical harassment, and a climate of fear fueled by county cameras used to monitor staff. The commissioner’s business allegedly monopolized county plumbing contracts, misused county equipment for personal gain, and pressured employees to support political candidates. In response, two fellow commissioners voted to strip him of administrative control, overhaul conflict-of-interest policies, and refer the case to federal authorities—including the FBI—while the accused commissioner voted against all measures.

Former Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler is rallying voters to repeal Washington’s new millionaire income tax, I-645, arguing it’s a stealthy step toward taxing everyone—and a threat to affordability for middle-class families. With a history of bipartisan leadership and a controversial vote to impeach Trump, she’s now warning that the tax’s architects plan to expand it, despite amendments meant to protect lower earners. She frames the push as a defense of Washington’s future, ensuring kids and grandkids can afford to live here, while critics see it as a move to slash education and healthcare funding. The real issue? Olympia’s spending crisis—not revenue—making voters demand fiscal responsibility before they’re taxed out of their homes.
