Total
cases and fines: 134,390 $34,757,302*
*These are the totals of uncollected fines outstanding as of July 2015. These totals may very well have increased as of today and be closer to $40 million.
Notes:
Commissioners gave county workers an across-the-board 2 percent raise in the 2016-2017 budget. If the average county worker makes $30,000, that equals to an additional $600. County workers will likely see their deductible go from $500 to $750 to make up a $2 million deficit in county medical payments that were not in the 2015-2016 budget. Additionally, their premiums will likely be raised and their spouses removed from their coverage.

The Commishes are so busy enriching themselves with the weddings that they fail to collect the taxes, and the taxpayers get screwed.
when they run for office they know how much they pay, they have to wait for the cost of living for all employees
Wtf ! They need to be held accountable for their NO action ! Get to work you justices do your JOB raise my ass move your asses and collect those fines
Actions to collect fines costs these leaches votes. Collecting fines also takes time away from their wedding events and playing local politics. Linda Salazar took time out (with pay) to campaign for her son Ruben Cortez. They put their own interests before that of the citizens of the County. If they collect fines, perhaps they could deserve a raise. To date all have failed us.
All their JP duties take a back burner to the profitable weddings, in a very undignified manner this JPs compete for the couples that show up to get their licenses
What a nerve from that Litlle blundering maricon
world is unfair, this big 29% raise means what? nada, same ol same ol, don't collect nor do any work auh except the weddings. I do HOPE THE IRS staff is looking at this to see those nice big extra cash dollar figures each one of these jokers makes on the side and if they report or it or not, hey who knows, maybe the IRS can do an Al Capone charge-evading taxes on these 9 jokers as well and send them to Alcatraz, lol. cca
Juan I just formed an new collection compny- Dowe, Cheatum & Howe, hope the county puts out an RFP to collect those $34 million that are outstanding, I will do it cheap, only want 15% of the collection amounts, adios. ctfs
The maricon is also committing barratry, I hope the bar is reading
