The Political Spotlight#627 | 3'fer: Henry County... Madison County... & The City of Muncie! | The Political SpotlightHost Kristopher H. Bilbrey covers a lot in this 627th episode...
Starting in Henry County, Indiana, where Sheriff John M. Sproles officially announced his re-election campaign yesterday, Wednesday, March 25, 2026 — coincidentally on his wedding anniversary. Imagine that! He chose to announce it on his anniversary, even though his wife didn't want him to run again... but hey, what's one more slap in her face, right?
Sproles announced plans to speak directly to Henry County voters, unlike one of his opponents, Mr. Dandy-Randy "Tweedle-Dee" Howard the Coward. But not so fast — he also set several limits on who...

Bilbrey covers the Special Meeting held by the Delaware County Commissioners today, Monday, March 23, 2026. During this brief meeting, the Commissioners suspended both the County EMA Director and the County EMS Director.
These suspensions follow the firing of a longtime County EMS Office Manager at the start of the month and amid an ongoing Indiana State Police theft investigation into allegations that county funds were stolen. How far could this go? Bilbrey questions it in this episode.
Next, Bilbrey covers the controversy involving one Henry County Commissioner’s fight against the BEES in He...

Bilbrey welcomes contributing correspondent Rachel Clark to discuss "public perception" and the growing disconnect between local leadership and the community.
First, Bilbrey provides an update on a recent email he requested from the City of Muncie regarding communications between Mayor Dan Ridenour's Office and employees at Prairie Creek Reservoir. The email concerned the "perception" that PCR employees gave citizens when citizens complained about rate increases at the park. Even though the employees at PCR were "technically correct" in their responses...

Bilbrey reviews the agenda and action items for the upcoming March 2, 2026, Muncie City Council meeting. Although it appears to be a light meeting, with only two new ordinances and two resolutions, it could, once again, be an interesting meeting because of the continued stalemate between the public and Council President Jeff Green over the so-called "Council Rules," as well as an interesting Ordinance and Resolution. Time will tell!

($22,000 to be exact!)
Next, Bilbrey shares his thoughts on Indiana House Bill 1359, specifically Amendment #2 to that bill. The amendment would cut early voting time in half and was presented by Indiana State Senator Mike Gaskill (R-Pendleton). Bilbrey has mixed feelings about this bill and would like more communication from both sides before a decision is made, but this is politics... so that is more...

From the City of Muncie and an ordinance that should have passed twice already but didn't, so it has been refiled, to a LOT of filings for political office in this 2026 election season, to a former City Councilor's OP-ED about the current insanity among the Muncie City Councilors... and, of course, there is always nonsense going on in Madison and Henry Counties.

Madison County, Indiana, is in the process of redrawing its election and voting precincts, and this topic will be discussed during an upcoming commissioners meeting scheduled for 10 a.m. on Monday, December 1, 2025.

Bilbrey examines the Prairie Creek Reservoir North Shore Camping fiasco more closely. It seems that Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour may have excluded more "stakeholders" than just his PCR employees, as he delivered the "bad news" to Muncie's residents. This is just another example of Ridenour's shortsighted, narrow-minded approach.

Bilbrey then discusses the press conference scheduled for Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. on the 3rd floor of Muncie City Hall. Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour will announce important information regarding "Muncie City Parks." What could this information be? Bilbrey has some thoughts.

2025-11-191h 34The Political Spotlight#559 | Boone Co., Indiana, Prosecutor Kent Eastwood Caves Under Pressure! | The Political SpotlightHost Kristopher H. Bilbrey breaks down the information shared with the public by Boone County, Indiana, Prosecutor Kent Eastwood during the press conference on Monday, November 17, 2025.
Prosecutor Eastwood announced that 62-year-old Curt D. Andersen was arrested on a warrant for a single count of voluntary manslaughter (a level 2 felony) in connection with the shooting death of 32-year-old Maria Florinda Rios del Velazquez, who was fatally shot after she and her husband mistakenly arrived at the wrong house (Andersen's) for work in Whitestown, Indiana, during the early morning hours of Wednesday, November 5, 2025

2025-11-182h 18The Political Spotlight#558 | Indiana State Senator Rod Bray Said NO To Mid-Cycle Redistricting! | The Political SpotlightHost Kristopher H. Bilbrey covers the big news that broke right at the end of the day on Friday, November 14, 2025, just as the weekend was beginning!
The Breaking News:
Indiana State Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray (R-Martinsville / District 37) issued the following statement: "Over the last several months, (Indiana State) Senate Republicans have given very serious and thoughtful consideration to the concept of redrawing our state's congressional maps. Today, I'm announcing there are not enough votes to move that idea forward, and the Senate will not reconvene in December."
That news understandably upset...
2025-11-171h 41The Political Spotlight#557 | Thursday, November 13, 2025 - Chit Chat! | The Political SpotlightThis 557th episode of 'The Political Spotlight' will be an open-topic show!
Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey is currently working on a few topics that aren't quite ready to explore yet, and even though it seems like a lot is happening, everything still feels like it's moving at a snail's pace.
There are a few odds and ends to cover as we head into the weekend; this is always a strange time of year, politically speaking. But, as usual, Bilbrey will make the most of it!

2025-11-141h 15The Political Spotlight#556 | Line of Duty Death! Plus: Whitestown Update & McShurley's Return! | The Political SpotlightHost Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses a tragic event that occurred in Delaware County, Indiana, around 3:40 a.m. today (Wednesday, November 12, 2025). Delaware County Sheriff's Department Corporal Blake Reynolds responded to a call about a motorist in need of assistance on Interstate 69, northbound from State Road 28. While Cpl. Reynolds was out of his vehicle helping a truck driver who had pulled over on the side of the road when a second semi, also headed north, lost control and collided with Cpl. Reynolds' patrol vehicle, the broken-down semi, and, sadly, Cpl. Reynolds himself.

2025-11-132h 03The Political Spotlight#555 | Self Defense or Murder? Indiana's Castle Doctrine Under Review! | The Political SpotlightHost Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses the tragic death of 32-year-old Maria Florinda Rios del Velazquez, who was fatally shot after accidentally arriving at the wrong house for work in Whitestown, Indiana, early Wednesday morning, November 5, 2025.
However, this isn't just an ordinary murder case; it's more complex, which has led to misinformation, conspiracies, and lies spreading quickly. Therefore, Bilbrey decided to speak out in an effort to help calm the chaos. Like everyone else, Bilbrey has limited information about the actual case; however, his background in law enforcement will allow him to help clarify some of the confusion.
2025-11-112h 01The Political Spotlight#552 | The City of Muncie Finally Made the Paper! & 2025 Election Results! | The Political SpotlightHost Kristopher H. Bilbrey responds to an article in The Star Press about the recent Muncie City Council meeting held on Monday, November 3, 2025.
Bilbrey then discusses the results of the general election held on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, in various states across the country. Indiana was not among those states, as this is an off-year election. Indiana's election cycle will resume in January 2026. But can Hoosiers learn anything from the results elsewhere to help decide what might happen next year? Tune in and find out!

The agenda has been released, and for the third consecutive month, the final resolution listed—now called "Resolution 19-25" (initially numbered 16-25 in September and 17-25 in October)—is what the Ridenour Administration has been attempting to jam through.
Who is sponsoring Resolution 19-25? None other than Muncie City Councilor Dale Basham. But, will anything come of the actions taken by Mayor Ridenour's Executive Assistant, Shareen Wagl...

Bilbrey and the rest of 'The Political Spotlight' crew are back! There are many topics to cover—so grab your favorite snack and drink, sit back, and let's get started!
First, Bilbrey highlights several "records" that the City of Muncie finally released. The documents relate to Dustin Clark, Flatland Resources, and the Ridenour Administration's efforts to build the new Fire Station 5.

But for this 540th episode, Bilbrey invites Dr. Katherine Callahan back to the program to discuss the current situation in Madison County government.
The Council continues to double down on its outdated, backwards thinking, and members of the Madison County Sheriff's Department have had enough! The president of the FOP, a deputy who has served for several years, resigned his position while speaking to the Council on Thursday evening, October 9, 2025. He is the first of...
2025-10-101h 47The Political Spotlight#539 | Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v, Ctrl+narrative | The Political SpotlightWhen a mistake occurs or something is done wrong, whether intentionally or not, once it is discovered, an apology is typically given, and the issue is corrected. Generally, it’s not expected that it will happen again or that something worse might occur.
However, in politics — especially in Muncie, Indiana — and even more so when the Ridenour Administration is involved, there are a few things you can be certain of:
First, there will be no "mea culpa"...
Second, the idea that "the cover-up is worse than the crime" is never considered...

Bilbrey opens episode 533 by sharing his thoughts on the local Republican and Democratic parties and what they seem to be doing or not doing, as Indiana gets ready for the 2026 midterm election season.
From there, Bilbrey explores the ongoing madness surrounding speech in America. Citizens and public officials alike are calling for others to lose their jobs, be penalized, or face other consequences just because of the language being used. It isn't easing up; if anything, it might be worsening.
Lastly, Bilbrey addresses several points regarding Indiana's Record Request process, the Open...

Then, Bilbrey pulls up an article from the New Castle Courier-Times and reads their summary of the end of the federal lawsuit between Bilbrey and Henry County Sheriff John M. Sproles.

Bilbrey has a few points of interest he plans to cover, but this will be a bit of a surprise-style show. That said, a large portion of the show will be devoted to "BULLIES" and the "ACT OF BULLYING" in politics!

For many residents of Delaware County, the top item on the Commissioners' agenda was the Solar Ordinance. However, instead of voting on the ordinance, the Commissioners decided to table it again to revise the language. Bilbrey is curious about why it is taking so long.
Next, Bilbrey looks toward the Indiana State House, as he has serious concerns about Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales, along with all the other ongoing issues involving Morales. He has now handed over the personal...

The meeting begins at 645 p.m., and Muncie residents are encouraged to attend to voice their opinions on the proposed 2026 budget and Resolution 16-25. Resolution 16-25 initiates the process to build a second fire station, before the first one is completed. This second station, costing $11.5 million, raises concerns for Bilbrey and should do the same for others.
From there, Bilbrey covers two follow-up pieces.
The first relates to the "Till-Pond" project in Muncie.

This is the budget that Mayor Dan Ridenour and his Administration have submitted to the City Council for their review and possible passage.
The Council, which was previously under Democratic control (6 to 3), is now controlled by the Republicans (5 to 4) due to Councilors Brandon Garrett and Jerry Dishman both switching parties from Democratic to Republican in July and August 2025.

First, Bilbrey talks about Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour's admission that there will be no progress on Southway Plaza. It has only taken him three and a half years to admit what the public has known for almost the entire time. What does this mean for Muncie and the southside? Should citizens ignore this and move on?
Next, Bilbrey recaps today’s (Thursday, August 14, 2025) "Unsafe Building Hearing Authority" meeting. Unsurprisingly, Mayor Ridenour did not ap...
