# West Terre Haute may owe up to $30,000 for police vests if a matching grant doesn't grow

## What happened
Kevin, the clerk-treasurer, told the council the town has already received an invoice of about $3,700 for police body armor (bulletproof vests), with a confirmed matching-grant commitment so far of only about $5,000.

## The outcome
No vote taken; the clerk-treasurer said the town remains on the hook for the difference unless the grant amount increases.
