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.
