Cedar Rapids Receives City Fine Payments From Linn District Court
Cedar Rapids finally received a $34,664.48 payment for July and August fines from the Linn District Court clerk. City treasurer Ed Burrell said the amount was about $8,000 less than last year, with officials citing fewer July and August filings and a state law shift transferring court operations to the state. Deputy clerk David Tessier notes the law also makes cities pay for costs from dismissals or acquittals, potentially reducing future shares. Other counties received similar overdue sums.
