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. #ThePoliticalSpotlight
