Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey has been working on this episode for the past 24-plus hours! It has been a constant uphill battle! A fight for accountability! And it really shouldn't have been as hard as it has been, but it has! The topics for this 591st episode include: - "The Peternel Child Porn Plea Deal" (Something doesn't sit right with Bilbrey!). - "Madison County's Fight to Hide in the Dark" (A denial of a records request leads to a PAC complaint!). - "Be nice to Councilor Green, They Say!" (Ok, but for how long? How long does someone have to be shit on before they say ENOUGH!?). - "SAME OL' DELCO GOP!" (Names may change... but the games stay the same!). - "Henry County Newspaper Article" (Ah... more "State-run" media!). Grab your snacks and some drinks... this is going to be a good one! #ThePoliticalSpotlight

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey provides more in-depth commentary on the Muncie City Council meeting held on Monday, January 5, 2026. Additionally, he'll share his thoughts on The Star Press' coverage of the meeting—their journalism is genuinely remarkable. Then Bilbrey recounts an intriguing telephone conversation he had earlier with Tim Overton, Chair of the Delaware County Republican Party. 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). #ThePoliticalSpotlight
