About this Episode

In this 753rd episode of The Political Spotlight, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey takes a closer look at the growing data center dispute in Muncie and Delaware County.

As the debate heats up, citizens are being bombarded with facts, rumors, misconceptions, outright misinformation, and, in Bilbrey's view, obfuscation from those in power.

The time to get involved is now!

But getting involved starts with getting educated!

Bilbrey argues that this fight must be grounded in facts—what is known, what is not known, and what still needs to be answered. Once emotion takes over and facts are lost, these debates can quickly derail.

Bilbrey reviews the current state of affairs, including remarks by Delaware County Commissioner Stephen Brand at the end of the Commissioners' meeting on Monday, October 19, 2026.

Bilbrey reminds the audience that many unknowns remain!

So Bilbrey tries to cut through the noise, separate fact from rumor, and get down to brass tacks: what is actually happening, what citizens should watch for, and what comes next.

Data centers. Local government. Private property. Citizen involvement. Facts. Rumors. Transparency. Accountability.

All that and more in this 753rd episode of The Political Spotlight.
