# Vigo County Public Defender's Office

Represents indigent defendants in Vigo County courts.

On Aug. 12, 2026 the budget committee approved the office's budget, then
rescinded that approval after spotting an unexplained $182,716 line labeled
"public defender grant" that no one on the committee could explain, and
re-approved the budget once the disputed line was removed. The same meeting
flagged a proposed deputy-prosecutor pay raise as likely to trigger a
matching increase here under state law.
