#560 | Indiana General Assembly's 2026 Org Day! Plus: Muncie Information! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 21:00:00 -0500

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey covers the "2026 Organizational Day" (Tuesday, November 18, 2025) of the Indiana General Assembly. For everyone wanting a vote on the possibility of "Indiana Congressional redistricting"... a vote by the Indiana State Senators did take place today.

Bilbrey then discusses the press conference scheduled for Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. on the 3rd floor of Muncie City Hall. Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour will announce important information regarding "Muncie City Parks." What could this information be? Bilbrey has some thoughts.

#546 | Records, Updates, Scandals, & Shake-Ups! (Local & State)! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Sun, 26 Oct 2025 21:00:00 -0400

After taking a week off due to a funeral, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey and the rest of 'The Political Spotlight' crew are back! There are many topics to cover—so grab your favorite snack and drink, sit back, and let's get started!

First, Bilbrey highlights several "records" that the City of Muncie finally released. The documents relate to Dustin Clark, Flatland Resources, and the Ridenour Administration's efforts to build the new Fire Station 5.

Next, Bilbrey moves on to the recent #SprolesWatch! Bilbrey shares the latest information he's gathered from multiple sources. This is a sensitive subject, and it will be handled carefully.

Staying on the topic of Henry County Law Enforcement for a moment, Bilbrey shares his thoughts on a video currently circulating about the Middletown and Knightstown Police Departments. There is a lot to consider with this topic, and it should be looked at with an understanding of what Indiana law says about many of the issues discussed in the video. Bilbrey explains it all in this episode.

Then, Bilbrey discusses the recent arrest of Jonathan Peternel, the adult son of Nathan Peternel, a mentor and close friend of Indiana's Lt. Governor, Micah Beckwith. Similar to the topic of Sheriff John Sproles, this could have been an issue that wasn't political. However, due to actions taken by those involved, it has become a matter of concern.

Finally, Bilbrey explores the possibility that Indiana Governor Mike Braun will call a "special session" of the Indiana General Assembly on Monday, October 27, 2025, solely to redistrict Indiana's Congressional Districts—something most Hoosiers neither want nor understand. Bilbrey covers it all here.

This is definitely a show you DO NOT want to miss!

#531 | And Then Mayor Ridenour Replied! (Muncie's 2026 Budget Battle) | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 21:00:00 -0400

As the 2026 Budget process for the City of Muncie wraps up in these last few months of 2025, tensions seem to be rising instead of easing.

While Muncie City Councilor Nora Powell (D - District 2) has been questioning and criticizing the Mayor and his administration over the past few weeks, Mayor Dan Ridenour now appears ready to push back against the Council and Powell specifically.

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses the Mayor's recent remarks and shares his perspective on how this situation might develop.

#517 | The City of Muncie’s Continuing Struggle With Transparency! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 21:00:00 -0400

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey and the team have all been feeling under the weather; however, it seems like they might be on the mend! And just in time for some City of Muncie nonsense!

Tune in to this 517th episode as Bilbrey discusses the details of the City's second Finance Committee meeting held at 6 p.m. on Friday, September 5, 2025. The one that DID NOT get live-streamed... even though it might have been the most important of all the scheduled Finance meetings!

Just more of the same for the City of Muncie!
