Vigo County holds off approving the sheriff's budget to recheck the numbers

What happened

The committee reviewed the sheriff's office budget, which includes new body cameras, radio equipment, and vehicle costs, plus roughly $2.1 million reimbursed each year from the LIT Public Safety fund. Rather than vote, the committee decided to hold off so members could recheck that the county-general and LIT Public Safety figures line up.

The outcome

Held off; no vote was taken, to be revisited later.
