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

The system is designed so that, regardless of who is in charge, the type of government, or the situation, it allows or even encourages elected and appointed public servants to be disrespectful toward taxpayers.

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey covers a few odds and ends as he waits for the big meeting for the City of Muncie on Thursday, October 16, 2025.

#535 | Ones & Zeros... On/OFF... Heads & Tails! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 21:00:00 -0400

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey continues his exploration of the ongoing back-and-forth between Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour and various members of the Muncie City Council, specifically Finance Committee chair, Councilor Nora Powell.

The wild thing is, it all comes down to a simple matter of ones and zeros, on/off, heads and tails. (2+2=4) However, it is being promoted as something much bigger!

Be sure to tune in live or via replay, as you do not want to miss any of it!

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey provides an update on the situation in Muncie, Indiana, following the city council's demand that the mayor give them a letter or email from the new insurance provider, detailing the latest figures and proposed savings for the city.

#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.

#528 | How Do We Keep Them Engaged? | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 21:00:00 -0400

In this 528th episode of 'The Political Spotlight,' host Kristopher H. Bilbrey reviews two emails from Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour to the Muncie City Council about the 2026 Budget Process. Bilbrey believes the emails highlight a larger issue.

Then, Bilbrey pulls up an article from the New Castle Courier-Times and reads their summary of the end of the federal lawsuit between Bilbrey and Henry County Sheriff John M. Sproles.

Finally, everyone is talking about how there's "something in the air." It seems like more people are waking up to what's happening in our "political world" — but this has happened before, so Bilbrey asks, "How do we keep them engaged?"
