About this Episode

Finally! Four and a half years in (one full term and a half year into term two), and Muncie, Indiana, Mayor Dan Ridenour might FINALLY be ready to start improving communication in Muncie!

Citizens of Muncie received "BREAKING NEWS" out of City Hall Tuesday, August 6th, 2024, as a Press Release dropped stating that the Ridenour Administration's 5th Communications Director, Michele Owen, was leaving that position as of Friday, August 9th.

Rumors started to fly that the Mayor had picked a replacement quickly - a local politician named Amber Greene. (Greene happens to be a friend of Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey's.)

Bilbrey quickly went into overdrive, and while he could not get in touch with Greene first thing today (Wednesday, August 7th), he did hear from sources at Muncie City Hall. They confirmed that she was in the building, and it looked like the rumors were correct!

A second Press Release on the matter was released today (Wednesday), stating that Greene had been tapped as the sixth Communications Director!

Greene has been an up-and-coming "conservative" republican voice within the City of Muncie and Delaware County. She currently serves as a member of the Delaware County Redevelopment Commission and has run for Delaware County Council twice, coming up short of victory in both races.

Beyond politics, Greene is a married mother of three. She has worked in sales and consulting and is a small business entrepreneur.

Mayor Ridenour stated, β€œAmber's strong communication and relationship-building skills will be a great asset to the City of Muncie. I am excited to bring her on board.”

Greene was sworn in on Wednesday morning and will assume duties immediately.

Will this be good for the citizens and the City of Muncie? Bilbrey thinks it is a step in the right direction... he goes into further detail in this episode!

Also, the Muncie Board of Works meeting is covered...

In other political news, Russ Willis, the Madison County Republican Party Boss, found himself in hot water today as Contributing Correspondent Dr. Katherine Callahan officially raised questions about the "Party's financial filings" and Willis and others' involvement. She stops in to briefly discuss that issue!
