#573 | Park Board Mtg! + MadCo's No Vote to New Precincts! + Boards 10-96! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 21:00:00 -0500

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey is feeling much better and ready to rock and roll!

First, Bilbrey highlights the ongoing issues the City of Muncie faces with communication, transparency, and, flat out, just giving a shit!

Bilbrey attended the Muncie Park Board meeting this evening and became increasingly upset as a citizen addressed the board about feeling excluded by the Mayor and his team. Things only got worse when Parks Superintendent Carl Malone stood up and showed a complete lack of understanding of how a public servant should behave, clearly proving the citizens' point.

Because of that, Bilbrey had to step up to correct the record and share a few points.

Next, shifting to a few Madison County points of interest, Bilbrey welcomes contributing correspondent Dr. Katherine Callahan to discuss the Madison County Commissioners' "NO VOTE" on the effort to redraw voting precincts.

Then, Bilbrey and Callahan discuss the recent decision by Madison County Circuit Court Division 3 Judge Andrew Hopper, who ruled that Carl Roy Webb Boards II—the man charged with the shooting death of Elwood Police Officer Noah Shahnavaz—is not competent to stand trial.

This and much more is coming your way... DO NOT MISS A SECOND OF IT!

#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.

#533 | Building the Benches! + Free Speech Battles Continue! + The PAC! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 21:00:00 -0400

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey opens episode 533 by sharing his thoughts on the local Republican and Democratic parties and what they seem to be doing or not doing, as Indiana gets ready for the 2026 midterm election season.

From there, Bilbrey explores the ongoing madness surrounding speech in America. Citizens and public officials alike are calling for others to lose their jobs, be penalized, or face other consequences just because of the language being used. It isn't easing up; if anything, it might be worsening.

Lastly, Bilbrey addresses several points regarding Indiana's Record Request process, the Open Door Law, and the Public Records Laws. He also shares a sad realization about the current Indiana Public Access Counselor, Jennifer Ruby.

Tune in, this is a show you absolutely DO NOT want to miss!

#501 | The Flip Has Flopped! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0400

In this 501st episode of 'The Political Spotlight,' Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses two major local government meetings held today, Monday, August 4, 2025. While several meetings took place across Indiana this morning—including the Delaware County Commissioners, Randolph County Commissioners, and Grant County Commissioners—Bilbrey focuses on the Muncie City Council Meeting and the Winchester City Council Meeting, both held this evening.

First, Bilbrey shares a statement that former Muncie City Councilor Jeff Robinson issued about the recent "political party hopping." Bilbrey offers his thoughts on Jeff's letter and explains why he believes Jeff is right on the money with his statement.

From there, Bilbrey explores the Muncie City Council Meeting, which turned out to be a major disappointment. The City Council passed "ordinance 2025" (an ordinance raising EMS rates in the City). While this decision is more than likely a poor choice for the citizens of Muncie, and the Council should have tabled it to gather more information, the main issue is how the discussion and votes were handled! This one specific vote demonstrated that the two former Democrat Councilors who recently switched to the Republican Party quickly aligned with their new colleagues, voting along party lines. Proving that the Republicans truly hold the majority on the Muncie City Council. It is completely frustrating that five of the nine Councilors could vote "NO" to gathering more information before voting!

However, at the Winchester City Council Meeting, things turned out much better. The Council voted to end a controversial measure — a big win for property rights and homeowners. Bilbrey was present at the meeting, and he shares his thoughts about what happened, why it matters, and what it means going forward.

As always, Bilbrey explains everything with his signature insight and straightforward commentary.
