Brooklyn Manor Elevator Delay | Fort Wayne News

Fort Wayne’s Brooklyn Manor seniors are stuck in a frustrating limbo: their only elevator, destroyed by lightning, won’t be fixed for 26 weeks, forcing residents—many with mobility issues—to climb stairs or call firefighters for help. Though legally not required under ADA or Indiana code, the housing authority is replacing the elevator, but advocates argue the law doesn’t account for real-life needs. Residents may have legal recourse under Indiana’s landlord repair laws, but city officials say they’re acting responsibly as parts are ordered and cooperation is underway. For now, patience—and a stair chair—is the only aid. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Real Estate CEO Charged With Fraud | Fort Wayne News

Real estate mogul James “Andy” Card faces federal civil charges for allegedly diverting millions meant for a public sports complex in Mishawaka, Indiana, to buy a luxury Florida home—accused of wire fraud and hiding the money’s origin. The FBI raided his properties, and while no criminal charges have been filed yet, authorities seek forfeiture of the Marco Island property. New Haven, where his firm also works on a fieldhouse, says it’s aware and has strict fiscal controls, noting no city funds were given beyond reimbursed design costs. The DOJ remains tight-lipped on the investigation’s status. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

BP Lockout Stalls as Community Demands Action | Fort Wayne News

BP’s Whiting Refinery lockout drags on into its fourth month, with 800+ United Steelworkers still off the job as stalled negotiations turn acrimonious. The union accuses BP of union-busting with a contract that slashes pay, cuts jobs, and erodes seniority — while BP blames the union’s silence for blocking progress, insisting they’ve tried to meet. Local governments are rallying behind the workers, passing resolutions demanding BP end the lockout — a show of community solidarity that’s undercutting BP’s PR push. The union stands firm, reminding everyone that generations of workers fought for these rights, and they won’t settle for anything less than a fair deal that honors their legacy.
