Verification status

Flagged — not yet verified. We have not been able to confirm part of this item against the record. We publish the flag rather than sit on the item; check the source yourself below.

How we attribute this: speaker_52 → "Chris Switzer" — named directly by the chair to take over the presentation ("Commissioner Schweitzer, would you like to take over?" [t=1027], the archive spelling Switzer per the roster entity) and responds in kind [t=1049]. Graded `probable` per this meeting's speaker roster. Neither of the two council members he credits by first name only ("Nancy and Vicki") is identified further in this transcript or resolvable against a published council roster, so they are described here by role only.

Vigo County Commissioner Chris Switzer (name graded probable, see attribution) presented Susie's Place — the regional child-advocacy center where children are interviewed about abuse instead of at a jail or police station — with a $15,000 check after Commissioner Mark Clinkenbeard requested that amount from the Vigo County Council on Aug.

4.

Switzer thanked two council members identified only as Nancy and Vicki and the rest of the council for providing it.
