Help To Collect Outstanding Fines

Municipalities may get some help to collect outstanding fines.

The provincial Liberals are introducing legislation that expands restrictions to Ontario residents from renewing license plates until they've paid outstanding highway traffic fines.

The legislation would also allow municipalities to mail highway tickets to out-of-province drivers who haven't paid their fines.

Fort Frances recently wrote-off $78-thousand in outstanding fines from 2006 because all existing means of collection had been exhausted.
