Vigo County commissioners approve $4,258,122.91 in claims for August 21-27, most of it public-safety-related
How we attribute this: speaker_28 → "Hutchins" — named once by an untagged direct address immediately before he speaks: "Mr. Hutchins, claims." [t=120], then presents the claims docket in the first person [t=123]. One naming event → probable per the meeting's speaker roster (Ledger/Meetings/2026-09-01-vigo-county-commissioners.speakers.md). This is the first meeting in this vault's coverage of this body where this presenter is named at all; prior meetings could only reach "Mr. Auditor," generic.
