Vigo County clerk wins $300,000 for records digitization and higher pay for election-day workers
Who it touches: People who work the polls on election day, and anyone who needs to look up older Vigo County court records.
The county clerk's office won approval to raise election-day worker pay from $175 to $250 a day.
The committee also approved an additional $200,000 from Fund 8895 and $100,000 from Fund 8899 to keep scanning old court records — some dating back to the 1800s — that have never been digitized.
