The Muncie City Common Council unanimously adopted Resolution 7‑26 on May 4, recognizing May 2026 as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Awareness Month.
A councilwoman who sponsored the resolution described a personal connection: her late stepfather Jerry Thornberg died of ALS 20 years ago, and a constituent with ALS asked her to sponsor the measure. "ALS is a cruel disease... I appreciate all of your support," she said after the roll call vote.
There was no public debate on the resolution and no requests to speak. The council recorded the adoption by roll call and moved on to the public comment period.
