West Terre Haute may owe up to $30,000 for police vests if a matching grant doesn't grow
How we attribute this: speaker_52 (merged into speaker_412) → Kevin, clerk-treasurer/town manager — this segment continues Kevin's recurring first-person town-finance narration role established earlier in the meeting ("we were behind when I first started job..." [t=3359]); graded `probable` on the roster. The underlying financial figures in this segment are also internally inconsistent in the source audio ($3,700 versus $30,000 versus "about $5,000"), so the claim itself is flagged, not just the name.
