Mayor of Fort Wayne
On the record
The flood-fight mayor of 1982. Resigned 8 July 1985 after pleading guilty to three misdemeanor campaign-finance violations, then, twelve days later, a Democratic precinct caucus (86 of 99) voted him back in to finish the term.
The flood-fight mayor of 1982: during the March flood fight some 9,000 residents were evacuated, the Pemberton dike was saved, and President Reagan joined the sandbag line on 16 March; the city took the All-America City award in 1983 largely for the fight (see “In 1982 the river crested at 26.93 feet, 30,000 volunteers saved the city, and Reagan named it ‘The City That Saved Itself.’”).
