#664 | Fighting the New Tax! Bad Attitudes, Failures, & ODL Violations! | The Political Spotlight

In this 664th episode of 'The Political Spotlight,' Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey covers four major issues affecting the citizens of Muncie and Delaware County.

First, Bilbrey focuses on tomorrow’s important public hearing, which will take place at the start of the Delaware County Commissioners meeting (9 a.m.). The hearing will address the proposed cumulative capital development fund tax. Citizens are strongly encouraged to attend and make their voices heard before another tax burden is imposed on the people of Delaware County.

For those wishing to attend, the Delaware County Commissioners' meeting and public hearing will be held Monday, May 18, 2026, at 9 a.m. in Room 309A on the 3rd floor of the Delaware County Building at 100 West Main Street, Muncie, Indiana 47305.

Next, Bilbrey delves into growing concerns about members of Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour's administration, as well as what many citizens call unacceptable attitudes and poor treatment by city employees. Complaints continue to mount as more residents come forward, frustrated by how they are being treated by City Hall.

Bilbrey will also discuss the ongoing problems at Prairie Creek and why many citizens believe the situation reflects a serious failure of leadership and accountability by the mayor’s office. That said, the mayor's most ardent supporters somehow continue to see everything as a win and can't understand how others, not in control of the situation, could let things get so bad!

Finally, Bilbrey breaks down a major victory for government transparency. The Indiana Public Access Counselor has ruled in favor of TRANSPARENCY and 'The Political Spotlight' team after we filed an Open Door Law complaint against Muncie City Council members for their actions at the City Council meeting on Monday, October 6, 2025. The ruling found that the City Council violated Indiana’s Open Door Law.

Join the conversation as Bilbrey exposes the issues, demands accountability, and keeps the white-hot spotlight on corruption and misconduct across local, state, and national government.
