Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey tackles the troubling lack of accountability from public officials. He starts with Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour’s long-overdue admission that no progress will be made on Southway Plaza — a reality citizens suspected for years. Bilbrey then recaps the latest Unsafe Building Hearing Authority meeting, where the Mayor ignored calls to address his past controversial comments. From local to broader government levels, Bilbrey warns of a growing trend he calls “Public Disservice” — an attitude of “you get what you get” toward citizens. Should the public accept this, or fight to change it? #ThePoliticalSpotlight
