Fees, fines and Court Costs can no longer go unpaid. McHenry County State's Attorney Louis A. Bianchi reports that with the assistance of County Circuit Clerk, Kathy Keefe, over $250,000 in outstanding fines and court costs owed the County from traffic and criminal offenders has been recovered in under two years.
In January 2009 a contract was entered into with Alliance One Receivables Management, Inc., an outside collections agency to recover outstanding fines and court costs due the county. These were amounts due on cases closed by the courts and there is no added charge to the county taxpayers. All fees are paid by the offenders.
The receipt of the outstanding $250,000 is a welcome addition to running the county government.
