Citilink is requesting Fort Wayne’s City Council help with a $2.5 million budget shortfall. The organization, which operates Fort Wayne’s public transit system, said it needed to increase how much money it takes from the city’s property tax fund, a process called a tax levy, by more than 40% to overcome the shortfall. Fort Wayne City Councilman Geoff Paddock, D-5th, said that took some members of council by surprise.
