Join Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey as he welcomes Jason Williams, Republican candidate for Henry County Sheriff, to the show. Williams has lived in Henry County for more than 20 years. He has served with the Sheriff's Department for 21 years, including 17 as a K-9 Deputy. Williams currently serves as Captain of the Detectives Division. Bilbrey and Williams discuss the campaign, Williams' views on the state of the Henry County Sheriff's Department, and his plans for the Department if elected. Bilbrey had planned to talk, after the candidate interview, about the discrepancies between what Henry County Sheriff John M. Sproles has said about the Sheriff's Department's role in the insurance situation facing Henry County and what Producer Kate and the team have found through record requests. However, sometimes BREAKING NEWS changes things! So, Bilbrey and Producer Kate will cover the Henry County insurance situation in episode 654, which airs tomorrow evening, Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 9 p.m. (ET). Tonight, Bilbrey first addresses the sad news announced today by Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour. The Mayor confirmed a cancer diagnosis and will undergo surgery and treatment, keeping him out of City Hall for six weeks. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE MAYOR, HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND HIS DOCTORS AND NURSES! From there, Bilbrey examines the latest developments involving embattled Muncie firefighter Troy Dulaney, including the "newest-old allegations," the details of Dulaney's fight to stay employed, and what appears to be the city's effort to terminate Dulaney. Which one is right? Are they both wrong? What in the hell is going on? Bilbrey breaks it down, again, in this episode! #ThePoliticalSpotlight

#624 | WEIK Reporting! What's Really Going On? | The Political Spotlight
March 22nd, 2026 | 2 hrs 3 mins
becoming the story, false claim, hcsd, henry county indiana, henry county jail, henry county sheriff john m. sproles, henry county sheriff's department, jail commander stacey guffey, misinformation, negligence, nicholas gulley ii incident, the courier-times, travis weik, wrongful death suit
This 624th episode is a follow-up to Ep 623: "Becoming the Story!" It discusses the article published on Friday, March 20, 2026, by The Courier Times Editor/Reporter Travis Weik. The article, "More Jail Footage Reviewed Following Gulley's Death," reports on the death of Nicholas Gulley II on Friday, February 27, 2026, after being on life support in the ICU for over a month, following a ten-day stay at the Henry County Jail. The fact that reporter Travis Weik tried to start the article with a false claim and point fingers at Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey set things off on the wrong foot. Not to mention the strange feeling that Weik and the newspaper seem more focused on playing PR rep for Sheriff John M. Sproles than on investigating what actually happened and following the story to its true, factual conclusion. All this and more make Bilbrey and the team question what is really going on, and he covers it all in this episode! #ThePoliticalSpotlight

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey reviews the agenda and action items for the upcoming March 2, 2026, Muncie City Council meeting. Although it appears to be a light meeting, with only two new ordinances and two resolutions, it could, once again, be an interesting meeting because of the continued stalemate between the public and Council President Jeff Green over the so-called "Council Rules," as well as an interesting Ordinance and Resolution Time will tell! Then, as he winds down the last show of the week, Bilbrey explains the contest viewers will have a chance to participate in next week. If you're interested, watch until the end! #ThePoliticalSpotlight
