Mercer magistrates collect over a million, but funds seldom stay local
Mercer County magistrate courts gather more than $1 million annually yet most is diverted to the state. Officials say increased county allocations from $12,500 to $15,000 per magistrate are inadequate. The state returns funds based on magistrate count and space, with only a small portion returned to the county this year.
