Counties Worry About Court Cost Ruling
The Illinois Supreme Court wants to make sure people don't
sit in jail because they can't pay their fines or make bail. But counties
across the state worry the court's good idea will cost them a lot of money.
McDonough County leaders are trying to figure out how to manage without some
bail dollars or other court fees. The Supreme Court's Access to Justice ruling
is set to change what counties and courts can charge defendants next year.
