#690 | Winning the War Means Losing Some Battles! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Kate Thornburg, & Brandon Rudd (The Political Spotlight) — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 21:00:00 -0400

On this 690th episode of The Political Spotlight, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey breaks down the latest developments across East Central Indiana, including:

• Delaware County / Muncie...
• Madison County / Anderson...
• Henry County / New Castle...

From local government decisions and public meetings to the issues affecting our communities, we'll cover what matters most—and why.

Bilbrey wraps up the show with a discussion of State Representative JD Prescott's "Property Tax Repeal & Replacement Proposal Tour." While Bilbrey is 100% on board with repealing property taxes, he firmly believes it must be done right. Hoosiers owe it to themselves to look beyond the headline and sound bite before deciding whether this proposal is the right path forward.

There's more to this proposal than just "Repealing Property Taxes!" Before forming an opinion, take time to understand what's being proposed, how it would work, who would pay for it, and what the long-term consequences might be.

Join the conversation live or catch the replay. Share your thoughts in the chat, and help spread the word by sharing The Political Spotlight with your friends, family, and neighbors across East Central Indiana and beyond.

#609 | He's Just a Wannabe Podcaster - No One Takes Him Seriously! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Kate Thornburg, & Brandon Rudd (The Political Spotlight) — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 21:00:00 -0500

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey reviews the agenda and action items for the upcoming March 2, 2026, Muncie City Council meeting.

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!

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Kate Thornburg, & Brandon Rudd (The Political Spotlight) — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 21:00:00 -0500

Tim attempted to explain Council President Jeff Green's (R) desire to amend the Muncie City Council's longstanding rules. Although Bilbrey and Tim remained respectful during the nearly thirty-five-minute discussion, it did get heated at times.

Lastly, Bilbrey turns his attention to the Indiana State Government, offering his perspective on "House Joint Resolution 2," authored by Indiana State Representative Elizabeth Rowray (R-District 35).
