County, JP Fees Spark Finance Talk in Clark County
Clark County District Attorney George Franklin told the Board of Commissioners the Las Vegas Justice Court lost 145 000 last year after paying 99 000 in fines to the state and incurring a 46 827 operating shortfall. He urged a county ordinance to capture misdemeanor arrests and a share of JP marriage fees, noting two JP candidates and the public groaned at proposed changes. The county clerk noted JP court nets about one fourth of 45 000 yearly marriages, with ceremonies yielding 5 to 20 dollars per rite. The DA proposed higher salaries for two JPs to offset reduced fees. Commissioners ordered a fee system study for next meeting.
