State targets delinquent auto owners and unlicensed dealers
Secretary of State Porter estimates Montana has about 75 000 motor vehicles but only 46 000 licenses issued. Special Agent C J McAllister travels the state to collect delinquent fees and register unlicensed dealers, with early successes including 21 unlicensed machines seized in Great Falls and $100 collected in one day. He aims to recover around $300 000 plus dealer licenses, funding that supports the state and counties. McAllister, a Kalispell resident, previously served as assistant chief clerk of the senate.
