Each is gathered here at pointer-to-moderate size with its disposition state; the whole accounts live in their owning files and are not re-told here.
The CAN-31 ballot-access fight of 2026. A ballot-access contest fought in the open record in 2026, carried in the government and newspapers files of this build. It passes the gate on all three tests: documented in the official and press record (test 1), contested by named parties over access to the ballot itself (test 2), and bearing directly on who governs the town (test 3). Its disposition state is as the government and newspapers files carry it; this section points there and does not re-open it.
Whitt v. Town of New Carlisle, 20A-CT-2279 (Ind. Ct. App. 2021). A civil suit against the Town itself, carried in the crime file. The Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment for the Town — the disposition is a finding, not an allegation: the Town prevailed, and the affirmance is the end of the appellate record read for this build.
The third data center's rejection, 10 December 2025. The St. Joseph County Council voted 7–2 on 10 December 2025 to reject the rezoning for a third data center on 1,057 acres along Chicago Trail — Councilors Catanzarite and Hess in favor, per the Tribune's account of the meeting; the same account quotes Councilor Figg's tally of the bodies heard against it beforehand: the Area Plan Commission 7–0 against, the New Carlisle Town Council 4–0 against, the Olive Township board 3–0 against. (A third figure in a different frame — Amazon's announced investment of roughly 11 billion dollars in Indiana, in the Project Rainier coverage — belongs to a different project frame and is not merged into either.) The disposition: rejected, 7–2, on 10 December 2025.
The South Shore station question. Whether rail service's local station future changes is carried in the transportation file. Its disposition state is OPEN as of November 2026: no disposition exists in the record, and nothing found in this section changes that state. It qualifies under the gate as a live, documented, town-significant contest — and it is not closed here.
