Join Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey as he welcomes Jason Williams, Republican candidate for Henry County Sheriff, to the show. Williams has lived in Henry County for more than 20 years. He has served with the Sheriff's Department for 21 years, including 17 as a K-9 Deputy. Williams currently serves as Captain of the Detectives Division. Bilbrey and Williams discuss the campaign, Williams' views on the state of the Henry County Sheriff's Department, and his plans for the Department if elected. Bilbrey had planned to talk, after the candidate interview, about the discrepancies between what Henry County Sheriff John M. Sproles has said about the Sheriff's Department's role in the insurance situation facing Henry County and what Producer Kate and the team have found through record requests. However, sometimes BREAKING NEWS changes things! So, Bilbrey and Producer Kate will cover the Henry County insurance situation in episode 654, which airs tomorrow evening, Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 9 p.m. (ET). Tonight, Bilbrey first addresses the sad news announced today by Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour. The Mayor confirmed a cancer diagnosis and will undergo surgery and treatment, keeping him out of City Hall for six weeks. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE MAYOR, HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND HIS DOCTORS AND NURSES! From there, Bilbrey examines the latest developments involving embattled Muncie firefighter Troy Dulaney, including the "newest-old allegations," the details of Dulaney's fight to stay employed, and what appears to be the city's effort to terminate Dulaney. Which one is right? Are they both wrong? What in the hell is going on? Bilbrey breaks it down, again, in this episode! #ThePoliticalSpotlight
