Justice Dept Probes Philly Gun Permit Revocations | Fort Wayne News
When five members of the Black Lion Party had their gun permits suddenly revoked—citing only “good cause” and vague character concerns—it sparked a federal probe into Philadelphia’s gun licensing practices. The revocations followed a tense January encounter between Black Lion members and police, with no arrests but significant consequences. As Philly grapples with persistent gun violence despite declining homicides, the Justice Department is now scrutinizing whether these broad, unexplained denials violate Second Amendment rights—especially under Philly’s unique open-carry licensing rules.

RV Resort Sparks Neighbor Pushback | Fort Wayne News
Neighbors in southwest Allen County are rallying against a proposed 146-acre RV resort, Sunbirds RV Resort, on Yoder Road, fearing it will disrupt their peaceful, rural way of life with noise, light, and traffic. While developer Michael Weaver touts the project as a seasonal housing solution that could ease local housing demand and foster community, residents like Joelle Ruefer and Brian Laipple worry it will transform a scenic landscape into a concrete-heavy development. With nearly 300 signatures on a petition urging county officials to reject the plan, locals are prepared to fight at upcoming hearings — pitting development against the quiet charm they cherish.

Medals for a Forgotten WWII Hero | Fort Wayne News
In a moving ceremony in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson honored the late Milford Browning by presenting nine WWII medals to his family, including his daughter Susan, who accepted them on his behalf. A soldier who enlisted before the U.S. entered the war, Milford fought in the 94th Infantry Division through brutal campaigns like the Battle of the Bulge and the Siegfried Line, enduring 209 straight combat days. His wartime experiences—marked by hand-to-hand combat and the liberation of concentration camps—left him forever changed. His wife, Twila, worked in a munitions factory, producing the very ammo he used. Though his official records were lost in a 1973 fire, his family continues to seek to uncover his full story. The medals are more than symbols—they’re a tribute to the sacrifices of the Greatest Generation and a call to remember the men and women who fought to secure the freedoms we enjoy today.

Indiana’s New Health Plan Rules | Fort Wayne News
Indiana’s Healthy Indiana Plan is getting a major upgrade starting January 2027, requiring eligible adults aged 19-64 to log 80 hours monthly—through work, school, training, or community service—to keep benefits.

Exceptions include pregnancy, caregiving, health issues, substance abuse treatment, or recent jail release—but staying in contact is mandatory. The state’s push?

Trump Accounts Give Kids $1000 Boost | Fort Wayne News
The government just launched “Trump Accounts” — tax-advantaged savings accounts for kids under 18, kicking off July 4th with a $1,000 government deposit for each eligible child.

Enrollment is booming — 6 million kids already signed up — with the Social Security Administration streamlining access by integrating signup into hospital birth registration.

Louisiana Tax Collections Mixed Results | Fort Wayne News
Louisiana’s tax coffers saw a May surge to $1.09 billion — up nearly $110 million from April — but the year’s total is still $838 million behind last year. The biggest gains came from individual income taxes (up to $361 million), sales tax, and severance taxes, while gasoline taxes held steady. Sales tax is the year’s bright spot, up 16% ($665 million), but income taxes are a major drag — down nearly $900 million — and corporate/franchise taxes are cut in half. Despite the annual shortfall, most categories are on track, except corporate taxes, which are lagging. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Ballard Joins Ballot as Independent | Fort Wayne News
Former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard is officially on the ballot as an independent under the new Lincoln Party, after securing over 40,000 verified signatures—well above the 37,000 needed.
