Special Agent C J McAllister travels statewide to recover roughly 300 000 owed, uncovering unlicensed dealers and collecting back fees. He reports strong enforcement for two number plates per vehicle and dealer licensing to boost revenues around 260 000. McAllister, Kalispell resident and former assistant chief clerk of the senate, leads the effort.
