From a local newspaper:

A cooperative effort to finance bridge maintenance collapsed, sparking the latest confrontation between Allen County and Fort Wayne government executives.

What was most notable during Thursday’s meeting of the Bridge Task Force wasn’t the discussions over raising taxes or changing state law. Instead, it was the absence of Mayor Tom Henry or anyone else from his administration.

[...]

“The bridges are a county issue, so there’s really nothing we can add to the dialogue at this point,” said Ozzie Mitson, Henry’s business and legislative liaison.

Commissioner Nelson Peters said it was disappointing the city would snub the discussions and draw such a hard line on the issue, sarcastically saying, “Well, that’s true collaboration.” Peters added he hoped this wouldn’t be an omen for future collaborative efforts.

Henry may soon be singing “London Bridge” with some new lyrics.
