Comments
Something is wrong, bill name and description do not match.
So where does the other .0001% go? Creigh estimates $1.8 million received; that means that $180 will go unallocated.
I have a broad philosophical objection to having fees talked on to criminal convictions that have nothing to do with the cost of those convictions to society. Someone who has shoplifted from Kroger shouldn't be having to underwrite a program having to do with Internet Crimes.
If members of the General Assembly would show some guts and vote to increase the income tax on people making more than $500,000, or something like that, none of this diddling around would be necessary.
For what it is worth, I don't think it will generate as much money as they think, and it will result in a few more convictions for driving on a revoked or suspended license, from people whose licenses are suspended for failing to pay fines and costs.
