Join Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey as he welcomes Tony Saunders, Republican candidate for Henry County Prosecutor, to the show. Saunders, 48, has lived in Henry County for most of his life. He earned his J.D. from IU in Indianapolis and has practiced law in Indiana for the past 20 years. Bilbrey and Saunders discuss the campaign, Saunders' thoughts on Henry County's current state, and his plans for the office if elected. THEN... After interviewing candidate Tony Saunders, Bilbrey dives into the day's news, and there is a lot! Two of the top Republicans at the Indiana Election Division of the Secretary of State's office submitted their letters of resignation today, citing serious criticism of the current Secretary of State, Diego Morales. But then Bilbrey turns his attention to the City of Muncie... where he was once again right all along about the "Muncie Crisis Center!" He has a LOT to say about that breaking news! And finally, he looks more closely at the issues that have been festering for the past several days (and longer) regarding the City of Muncie's Communications Director. It's going to get wild! #ThePoliticalSpotlight
