Surcharge dispute over Linn County traffic funds surfaces
Linn County sheriff candidate Dennis Fiser challenges how the $5 traffic ticket surcharge is handled. The law requires funds to go to the county general fund, but the sheriff proposes routing revenue to his office or using it to buy ticket forms. Officials say the money reduces the tax askings and remains in the general fund.
