Vigo County holds off approving the sheriff's budget to recheck the numbers
Who it touches: The sheriff's office and its staffing and equipment, and Vigo County taxpayers who fund it through both county general and LIT Public Safety.
The committee reviewed the sheriff's office budget, which includes new body cameras, radio equipment, and vehicle costs, plus roughly $2.1 million reimbursed each year from the LIT Public Safety fund.
Rather than vote, the committee decided to hold off so members could recheck that the county-general and LIT Public Safety figures line up.
