Bilbrey attempts to communicate with Overton about being appointed to one of Delaware County's open delegate seats, Bilbrey doesn't get very far and feels shut out and unheard. This leaves Bilbrey wondering whether it's Overton who needs to build those bridges! Overton acts less like a bridge builder or a leader and more like a "Gatekeeper!"

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey examines several issues that have come to light within the City of Muncie Fire Department over the past few weeks and months, some stretching back years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These new controversies, along with previously known issues, seriously undermine the stability and leadership of the Muncie City Fire Department! Although some of these problems involve rank-and-file firefighters and EMS personnel, it clearly points to a leadership issue that extends all the way to the Mayor's Office.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you live, work, and/or play in Muncie, Indiana, you will NOT want to miss this episode!&lt;/p&gt;

    <![CDATA[<p>Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey examines several issues that have come to light within the City of Muncie Fire Department over the past few weeks and months, some stretching back years.</p>

<p>These new controversies, along with previously known issues, seriously undermine the stability and leadership of the Muncie City Fire Department! Although some of these problems involve rank-and-file firefighters and EMS personnel, it clearly points to a leadership issue that extends all the way to the Mayor's Office.</p>

<p>If you live, work, and/or play in Muncie, Indiana, you will NOT want to miss this episode!</p>
