• Podcast: 2027 City Budget with Mayor Scott Fadness, Deputy Mayor Elliott Hultgren (larryinfishers.com) — Fishers leaders are proposing a $224 million 2027 city budget that could bring a modest property tax rate increase while still slowing or cutting many homeowners' bills. Plans include major sewer upgrades, work on failing neighborhood streets, a possible fourth ambulance, and Agri Park West opening in spring 2027, plus a self-sustaining Community Center and only one new city position: an additional detective.
   

• Fishers Freight coach Dixie Wooten on the 2026 season, a new contract and a third-year climb (larryinfishers.com) — Fishers football fans get an inside look as Freight head coach and GM Dixie Wooten reflects on a near-playoff 2026 season, a new contract, and higher expectations. He outlines roster plans, a new defensive coordinator, and stresses that community involvement is mandatory for any player who wants to represent Fishers in the Indoor Football League.
