Bilbrey, Kate Thornburg, & Brandon Rudd (The Political Spotlight) In Episode #737 of The Political Spotlight, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey examines three local-government meetings across East Central Indiana. First, Bilbrey breaks down the September 22, 2026, Muncie City Council Finance Committee meeting, where the council began reviewing the proposed 2027 city budget. He questions who knew about the meeting, how councilors and citizens were informed, and what he describes as continued political gamesmanship by the Ridenour Administration and Council leadership. Bilbrey also explains why he considers the meeting a MOCKERY of the budget-review process. Next, Bilbrey turns to the September 21, 2026, Delaware County Commissioners meeting and the county's letter of intent regarding nuclear energy and small modular reactors (SMRs). Lastly, it's back to Winchester, Indiana, where the former Volunteers of America (VOA) Winchester House facility at 313 South Meridian Street was discussed during the September 21, 2026, Winchester City Council meeting. Bilbrey discusses the latest developments there and what he's done since the previous episode. #ThePoliticalSpotlight 2:11:07 yes <p>In this 737th episode of The Political Spotlight, Host Kristopher H.

Bilbrey takes a close look at several local-government meetings across East Central Indiana — and there is plenty to discuss!

Bilbrey begins with the first Muncie City Council Finance Committee meeting, held earlier this evening, Tuesday, September 22, 2026, as councilors began reviewing the proposed 2027 city budget.

Before delving into the meeting itself, a few questions need answering.

Who knew what, and when did they know it? Who was informed about the meeting, how were they informed, and who might have been left out of the loop?

Bilbrey offers insight into what he believes is ongoing "game play" by the Ridenour Administration and inept Council leadership.

Then there is the meeting itself.

What should have been an opportunity for serious discussion of Muncie's financial future became, in Bilbrey's view, an absolute MOCKERY of the budget process!

From there, Bilbrey turns to the Delaware County Commissioners' meeting on Monday morning, September 21, 2026, where he shares his thoughts on the county's "letter of intent" for nuclear energy, specifically small modular reactors (SMRs).

Finally, the spotlight returns to Winchester, Indiana, where Monday evening's Winchester City Council meeting addressed the former Volunteers of America (VOA) Winchester House facility at 313 South Meridian Street.

Bilbrey shares his thoughts on the latest development and what he has done since the last show.
