#665 | "No More R's & D's... Only You's & Me's!" Del Co's CCDF Tax is DOA! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Mon, 18 May 2026 21:00:00 -0400

A “huge victory” for the citizens of Delaware County, or a tactical pause within a broader plan for those in the Delaware County government?

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey examines every angle of the day's events in this 665th episode of 'The Political Spotlight.' Bilbrey dives into the public hearing of the Delaware County Commissioners that took place at 9 a.m. this morning (Monday, May 18, 2026). After several citizens voiced concerns, all opposing the county’s move to create a new tax, the Delaware County Commissioners voted 3-0 to take NO FURTHER ACTION on Ordinance 2026-8, which would establish a Cumulative Capital Development Fund Tax in Delaware County.

A WIN FOR THE PEOPLE, RIGHT!?

Well, that's just it... Honestly, Bilbrey is questioning just how easy it was to defeat this proposal.

What you’ll see in this episode:

A walkthrough of the events leading up to the vote and the 3-0 decision to “take no further action.”
Who spoke up, what concerns they raised, and how those concerns were addressed (or not).
What a Cumulative Capital Development Fund Tax is supposed to do, and what “no further action” means for the county’s budget and services.
The broader implications for taxpayers, local governance, and future political dynamics in Delaware County.
The questions to watch for moving forward, and how residents can stay engaged.

Share your thoughts in the comments! Was this a clear-cut victory for the citizens of Delaware County? Or was this all part of a bigger plan?

#662 | Delaware County Commissioners Want MORE Taxes! What Say You? | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Thu, 14 May 2026 21:00:00 -0400

In this 662nd episode of 'The Political Spotlight,' Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey takes a hard look at a newly proposed property tax increase, pushed by the Delaware County Commissioners through the creation of a “Cumulative Capital Development Fund.”

Delaware County Commissioners Sherry Riggin (R), Shannon Henry (R), and Stephen Brand (R) will hold their regularly scheduled second meeting of the month on Monday, May 18th, 2026, at 9 a.m. During that meeting, a 'public hearing' will be held in which citizens SHALL be heard on this matter.

This meeting/hearing is important and a key opportunity for citizens to advocate against the tax increase. Bilbrey will explain what will happen at the meeting/hearing and what citizens need to do to oppose the proposed increase!

Bilbrey will examine what this fund is and how it will be used. He'll discuss why Delaware County's so-called "conservative Republican" Commissioners are trying to saddle taxpayers with another tax and why such tax increases are becoming more common across local governments.

Most importantly, Bilbrey will outline what citizens can legally do to challenge or oppose the proposal. The bottom line is that it takes commitment!

Honestly, this isn’t just about this proposal — it’s about transparency, accountability, communication, priorities, and whether taxpayers are truly heard.

The Delaware County Commissioners Meeting/Public Hearing will be held on 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. The meeting/hearing will be streamed live; however, Bilbrey recommends attending in person for the best results.

This is something ALL citizens of Delaware County, Indiana, need to be concerned about!

'The Political Spotlight'
Real issues. Real accountability. Real conversations.
A light on the darkened path - a voice of reason amid the chaos & corruption!

#524 | Solar Ordinance Delay & Voter List Fiasco! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 21:00:00 -0400

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey covers the Delaware County Commissioners' meeting held earlier this morning (Monday, September 15, 2025). For many residents of Delaware County, the top item on the Commissioners' agenda was the Solar Ordinance. However, instead of voting on the ordinance, the Commissioners decided to table it again to revise the language. Bilbrey is curious about why it is taking so long.

Next, Bilbrey looks toward the Indiana State House, as he has serious concerns about Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales, along with all the other ongoing issues involving Morales. He has now handed over the personal information of nearly 5 million registered Indiana voters to the federal government. As you can imagine, Bilbrey is not pleased.

Tune in for Bilbrey's thoughts on the Delaware County Commissioners' meeting and the situation with Indiana, Secretary of State Diego Morales and the personal information of all Hoosiers. Bilbrey also highlights a SUPER-FAN, Mr. or Mrs. Barton Tweaker, better known as "Bluestate49."
