"I have been in this office for several years and my administration has worked really well for the City of Fort Wayne. We are a very transparent administration, very open, very accessible, very approachable, and I think the people of Fort Wayne know that. I'd like to continue to be a service to them."
AND:
"Our family knows that Fort Wayne has been very good to us and we need to be of service to our community and pay them back for all they have done for us. This is my way of saying thanks to the City and hopefully I can still be of service to them."

Gina Burgess In fairness to Mayor Henry and the specific comment you are referencing---"..."I have been in this office for several years and my administration has worked really well for the City of Fort Wayne. We are a very transparent administration, very open, very accessible, very approachable, and I think the people of Fort Wayne know that. I'd like to continue to be a service to them...." -- let's break it down:
Henry has been in office for several years. That's a fact. He's a career politician who was in office for about 14 to 16 years as a City Councilman and is finishing up 8 years as Mayor.
Henry's administration has worked very well for the City of Fort Wayne. That's opinion. Henry is entitled to that opinion.
Henry's administration is very transparent. Compared to earlier administrations, that is a fact. But would his administration been so "transparent" had other factors been at play, such as the State Board of Accounts requiring reports be submitted electronically or the City Clerk facing a somewhat competitive challenger from a younger, more technically savvy candidate or the increased demand of citizens to be more in "the know"? Then of course there's the issue of technology, itself being more available now than in the past. So, technically, Henry's statement is true. Now, as to the degree of transparency--that is opinion. Again, Henry is entitled to his opinion.
Henry administration being very accessible. That is a true fact. Anyone can send Henry an email or voicemail at any time. However, had Henry said he was very responsive to those who access or try to access him, then that would not have been a true fact. As to the degree of accessibility--that is an opinion.
Henry administration is very approachable. It is a fact that Henry can be approached---if he likes you and if you schedule time with him by filling out a "Request to Meet the Mayor" and submitting it to his staff. So approachability is a true fact. If the mayor chooses to be responsive to your request. As to the degree of approachability--that is opinion.
Henry's wanting to continue to serve the public in the capacity of Mayor -- That is a true fact. Otherwise, he wouldn't be running for office, again.

FORT WAYNE, IN (WFFT) With the May Primaries less than two weeks away, candidates are gearing up for elections. One of the most notable race is for the Mayor's office, as Mayor Tom Henry hosted the grand re-opening of his campaign.
There was a feeling of excitement as Mayor Henry officially opened his office for the campaign season as he tries to retain his seat in the Mayor's office. He's not the only one in a tough race. This year's Primary looks to be a competitive one.
Primary Election season in Allen County is starting to heat up. There are several races drawing attention including City Clerk, the 7 City Council positions, and perhaps the most competitive race in this election, the Mayor's office.
"Our family knows that Fort Wayne has been very good to us and we need to be of service to our community and pay them back for all they have done for us. This is my way of saying thanks to the City and hopefully I can still be of service to them."
Mayor Henry has 3 other Democrats competing against him in the primary. They are David Roach, Tom Cook, and Wayne Township's Rick Stevenson. If he makes it onto the ballot for the general election, he will face off against a Republican challenger.
"I have been in this office for several years and my administration has worked really well for the City of Fort Wayne. We are a very transparent administration, very open, very accessible, very approachable, and I think the people of Fort Wayne know that. I'd like to continue to be a service to them."
There are also 4 candidates on the Republican ballot for Mayor. They are Bill Collins, Bob Bastian, Frederick Oshski and City Council's Mitch Harper.
Volunteers for all the campaigns will be working hard for the next few weeks. WFFT will have all the results of the primary election on election night, Tuesday May 5th.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) -- More than four months after it was expected, residents of Fort Wayne are still waiting to learn results of a study about a potential downtown arena.
City administrators confirm they expect an invoice from a Chicago real estate advisory company soon, for final payment for the study, and in a statement said they have not received the final version of the study but will share the results with the public.
That Chicago firm is being paid $40,000 to find out if building a mid-sized arena in downtown Fort Wayne would be a good investment.
The city's purchase order is dated August 20th of last year, and 21Alive News was told at the beginning of October that the results of that study would be released by the end of the year.
Seeing as it's now the third week of April, we submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to see those results.
That request was denied, with city lawyers telling 21Alive News the study results may be released later, once the city has had an opportunity to read the report.
City officials told us previously if the study calls for an arena to be built, construction might be paid for with Legacy funds or other sources of public money, but they insist taxes would not support the arena's operations.
City spokesman John Perlich said October 2, 2014, “That might be able to complement some of the things we're already doing in the community. So, that's what we're doing right now. It'll take around 90 days and really the result of that is going to determine if we take the next step or if it's something we'll leave alone for the time being.”
Mayor Henry told us on March 13, “When we present something to the general public, relative to a possible sports arena downtown, we want to make sure that all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed, because what we don't want to do is present them something that's not a finished product, and then have to go back and do it again.”
It’s not clear when the city expects to receive the results of the study.

Have you ever pondered why every interaction with any governmental agency or department has to be exceedingly painful for the everyday citizen? Why is it always that way?
My favorite conversation is when there is a sewer backup or problem the first thing said is it’s the resident’s issue to deal with because the city’s line is running so it has to be the resident’s problem, and that is usually said before the city’s downtown sewer expert is out of the official city car.
Then we get into a conversation after the city sewer expert is out of the official city car: You know there are a lot of trees here, and trees have roots. It has to be tree roots in your sewer line that is causing the problem. You need to call a plumber to snake your sewer line.
The city sewer expert must have X-ray vision, because he can look through 6 to 8 feet of soil and tell the resident where and what the problem is because the problem is on the resident’s side of the sewer line and never in the city’s.
Then my favorite exit strategy: “I need to go back to the office and get the drawings that show where the sewer lines are in this area.” So much for the X-ray vision.
Then the next question for the sewer expert is “Did you call 311? Did you get a case number?”
Have you ever tried to call 311 on a weekend ? As Murphy’s law states, that’s when you have a problem when there is no one to answer the 311call, so now what? Well, to keep the story moving forward, the city sewer expert now has a car full of drawings and starts to explain to the resident that it can’t be the city’s sewer because look at all the drawings I have with me from the city’s downtown office. Oh, by the way, did you call your plumber and report the problem to 311?
Now the issue is almost moving forward because the city’s downtown drawing-toting sewer expert is back on the problem, but the resident still can’t take a shower and everyone has forgotten that resident is two or three days into the sewer issue. And they still have the sewer problem, which by now has cost the resident their first-born male child, but now we have the drawings that just might show the correct sanitary/storm sewer line that the resident’s line is tied into. The city’s expert has spoken several times to the resident’s sewer contractor to make sure that the sewer problems are the resident’s problem and not the city’s.
Well, this is the merry-go-round you hop on when you have an interaction with the government, no matter if it is a sewer issue, street issue, sidewalk issue or garbage issue. And why is it like that?

Asking for Legacy, Capital Improvement dollars
Thursday, April 23, 2015 - 3:53 pm
Mayor Tom Henry will seek $6 million from the city's Legacy fund and another $3 million from the Capital Improvement Board to jump-start riverfront development efforts, Mayor Tom Henry said Thursday.
The request for Legacy dollars, generated through the sale of the city's former electric utility, will go to City Council April 28 and require the support of six of council's nine members. The Capital Improvement Board, which oversees food and beverage tax revenues, is expected to consider the request next month.
If approved as expected, the funds would pay for some of the next steps in the riverfront plan being coordinated by Henry's Riverfront Implementation Committee. They include property appraisals, environmental studies, development of a plan to clean and maintain riverbanks underwritten by a $42,000 Fort Wayne Community Foundation grant, soil borings, planning for special programming along the riverfront, engineering and design contracts for the proposed promenade, feasibility studies for an ecology center and the railroad-themed Headwaters Junction, and -- perhaps most important -- property acquisition.
“I’m encouraged by the continued excitement and momentum we’re experiencing as we come together to make riverfront development a top priority,” Henry said in a statement. “We believe the next steps that have been laid out will position us for future economic growth and an enhanced quality of life for everyone as we collaborate to make our riverfront a lasting legacy for our community.”
The Community Foundation has committed to providing $3 million toward the riverfront implementation efforts. Projects will be phased in over decades, and city officials continue to seek funding from a variety of public and private sources. No budget has been established for the entire project.
