In this 611th episode of 'The Political Spotlight,' Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey covers a major story from Henry County, Indiana, and then, moving northward, he reports on a major announcement made earlier in the day in his home city of Muncie, Indiana. First up, Bilbrey tackles the Henry County Government's insurance problem! To be clear, the problem is current Sheriff John M. Sproles and the culture he has created among his employees. We then move on to the City of Muncie and the weekly Board of Works meeting, where Mayor Dan Ridenour announced that BOW member Linda Gregory would be stepping away from "public service" after 12 years as a Muncie City Councilor and six years on the Board of Works! The Mayor did not reveal who her replacement would be, but Bilbrey found out it was none other than local attorney Allen Wiseley, a young lapdog Republican, who, like Democrat Gregory and the other two BOW members, will be nothing more than a rubber stamp for Mayor Ridenour. #ThePoliticalSpotlight
