The Daily Show Reports on Fort Wayne's Harry Balls Government Center

Recently, Jon Stewart on the Daily show did a story on Fort Wayne, Indiana... The local news story talks about it may become the butt of jokes from the city hosting an online voting competition to name a local government center. After 10,000 votes... the winning name is "The Harry Balls Government Center"... Harry was a local mayor in the 1930's and 1940's --- And at that time, the name wasn't as strange as what it is now.

Apparently city leaders don't like the name, and are leaning towards something else. However, there are plenty of supporters for the Harry Baals government center.
