Love seeing SACS high school student Fort Wayne, Indiana Mayor’s Youth Engagement Council member Layla Kelly next to Secretary Pete Buttigieg! Hoosiers leading—present & future!

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we share that Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry passed away peacefully this evening, Thursday, March 28, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.

Fort Wayne, Indiana So sorry to hear this. Tom was a compelling leader and I learned a great deal from him over the years as a fellow mayor. He will be missed by many, yet the legacy of his service will live on.

What an incredible thread using math to explain part of a property tax reform plan.

Intergovernmental partnerships bring federal funding back home so we can strengthen our neighborhoods. Having dreamed of “Infrastructure Week,” we’ve had “Infrastructure 4 years” from the Biden/Harris administration that makes this investment possible.
