  <itunes:subtitle>In Episode #764 of The Political Spotlight, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey opens with what he calls the first major blunder by newly elected Republican Henry County Sheriff-Elect Jim Nicholson—less than 24 hours after the election. Bilbrey lays out why he believes Nicholson and his team were caught in a lie almost immediately after the win, why he sees the attempted cleanup and pushback as even worse than the original issue, and why he is drawing a line now before that kind of behavior becomes the norm in Henry County. From there, Bilbrey returns to Muncie to review the November 4, 2026, Board of Works meeting, the November 2, 2026, Muncie City Council meeting, and the October 29, 2026, Delaware-Muncie Metropolitan Board of Zoning Appeals meeting as several local-government stories continue to develop. There is a lot to cover—and Bilbrey is not letting any of it slide. #ThePoliticalSpotlight</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;In this 764th episode of The Political Spotlight, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey dives straight into what he calls the first MAJOR BLUNDER by newly elected Republican Henry County Sheriff-Elect Jim Nicholson (and it only took 20 minutes after winning for it to happen).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nicholson hasn't even been Sheriff-Elect for 24 hours, yet Bilbrey has already caught Nicholson and his team in their first big lie.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As usual, the lie isn't even the worst part.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The worst part is that "Team Nicholson" is trying to cover it up by gaslighting Bilbrey and others—which WILL NOT work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bilbrey is putting his foot down before this behavior becomes the new sheriff's norm in Henry County.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is it already too early—or too late—for Bilbrey to say, "He misses Sproles?"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bilbrey brings the heat, laying out exactly what happened, why he believes Nicholson's team got caught, and why he isn't letting this one slide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As Bilbrey has said for some time, Henry County politics can sometimes seem almost hopeless.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From there, the spotlight turns back to Muncie.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bilbrey reviews the City of Muncie Board of Works meeting held earlier Wednesday, November 4, 2026, then revisits the Muncie City Council meeting from Monday, November 2, 2026, and finally returns to the Delaware-Muncie Metropolitan Board of Zoning Appeals meeting from Thursday, October 29, 2026, as several major local-government stories continue to develop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is a LOT to cover—but it has to be done!&lt;/p&gt;

    <![CDATA[<p>In this 764th episode of The Political Spotlight, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey dives straight into what he calls the first MAJOR BLUNDER by newly elected Republican Henry County Sheriff-Elect Jim Nicholson (and it only took 20 minutes after winning for it to happen).</p>

<p>Nicholson hasn't even been Sheriff-Elect for 24 hours, yet Bilbrey has already caught Nicholson and his team in their first big lie.</p>

<p>As usual, the lie isn't even the worst part.</p>

<p>The worst part is that "Team Nicholson" is trying to cover it up by gaslighting Bilbrey and others—which WILL NOT work.</p>

<p>Bilbrey is putting his foot down before this behavior becomes the new sheriff's norm in Henry County.</p>

<p>Is it already too early—or too late—for Bilbrey to say, "He misses Sproles?"</p>

<p>Bilbrey brings the heat, laying out exactly what happened, why he believes Nicholson's team got caught, and why he isn't letting this one slide.</p>

<p>As Bilbrey has said for some time, Henry County politics can sometimes seem almost hopeless.</p>

<p>From there, the spotlight turns back to Muncie.</p>

<p>Bilbrey reviews the City of Muncie Board of Works meeting held earlier Wednesday, November 4, 2026, then revisits the Muncie City Council meeting from Monday, November 2, 2026, and finally returns to the Delaware-Muncie Metropolitan Board of Zoning Appeals meeting from Thursday, October 29, 2026, as several major local-government stories continue to develop.</p>

<p>There is a LOT to cover—but it has to be done!</p>
