The Hoosier Survey, conducted annually by Ball State University’s Bowen Center for Public Affairs, reveals strong support for changes in policing. Respondents were presented with a list of four proposals and asked whether they favor or oppose each.

When Fort Wayne City Councilwoman Michelle Chambers learned in August she had Stage 2 breast cancer, she told her doctor, “OK. What s next?”
Late last week, Chambers completed her final radiation treatment and rang the Parkview Cancer Institute s bell in celebration. Ever upbeat, Chambers said she is recovering from the radiation and has one surgery left. After a little more recovery time, she said she plans to hit the ground running in 2021.
Breast cancer runs in Chambers family – her mother survived a battle with the disease in the 1980s. Because of that, Chambers said, she s always been diligent about her health, taking particular care to get regular mammograms. But in the midst of a frenetic 2019 City Council campaign, Chambers said her health took a back seat to other priorities.
