# Speaker roster — Vigo County Commissioners, 2026-08-25

Resolved against [[Ledger/Meetings/2026-08-25-vigo-county-commissioners.md]]. No
agenda or prior Vigo County Commissioners roster exists in the vault yet
(`Ledger/About/coverage.md` lists this body as "Not yet" covered), so there is
no closed-set roll call or prior-meeting roster to check names against — every
assignment here rests on transcript-internal evidence only.

Only the 7 labels carrying substantial speech are resolved below. 19 sparse
labels merged into `<other>` are out of scope for this roster.

## Notes on individual labels

- **speaker_16** — the chair/president. Runs the meeting start-to-finish
  (minutes, claims docket, the Kenworthy appointment vote, public comment, and
  recess) but is never named by anyone in this transcript. `role_only`.
- **speaker_18** — the county auditor presenting the claims docket, identified
  by function ("auditor sir...") rather than by name. `role_only`.
- **speaker_27** — a commissioner: makes the motion to approve Joseph
  Kenworthy's appointment and later speaks at length about the airport
  board/air show. No name recoverable. `role_only`.
- **speaker_44** — **Danny Wayne**, a resident presenting on behalf of Ileana
  Vision Connection. Self-identified by name during public comment and
  addressed by name twice more by the chair. `confirmed`.
- **speaker_61** — a commissioner running a closing "anything else" round,
  asking after a person named "Chris" and "our attorney" — evidence points to
  this speaker being neither Chris nor the attorney, but their own name is not
  recoverable. `role_only`.
- **speaker_69** — a resident, apparently one of Danny Wayne's two fellow
  Ileana Vision Connection staff, answering a logistics question about the
  Saturday fundraiser. No self-identification. `role_only`.
- **speaker_73** — a commissioner, thanking Danny Wayne and moving the meeting
  along. Distinct from speaker_16 (the established chair) on content, but no
  name recoverable. `role_only`.

No `merge_with` candidates: no two labels carry evidence strong enough to
assert they are the same person, despite speaker_16 and speaker_73 both
addressing Danny Wayne — that is two commissioners doing the same courteous
thing, not one person split across labels, absent stronger evidence.

No voice-match data exists for this meeting; all `basis` entries are textual.
