Councilmen Russell Jehl and Scott Myers statement regarding letter sent to Mayor Tucker today
Fort Wayne, Indiana (August 25, 2025) – Earlier today, Councilmen Russell Jehl and Scott Myers delivered a letter to City Attorney Malak Heiny calling for a review of the City of Fort Wayne’s strategy for the legality and strategy for addressing encampments, which have become prevalent in the community. We have asked the City Attorney and Administration to look at two divergent approaches to ongoing vagrancy and public camping and provide perspective on the direction the community should go. These approaches, one championed by California Governor Gavin Newsom, the other by President Donald Trump, provide very different guidance on how to approach issues created by continued encampments on public property.
