City Wants a Crackdown on unpaid Traffic Fines

The City of Kenora wants to crack down on motorists who refuse to pay their fines.

Currently the city is looking at over two million dollars in unpaid parking tickets and other traffic fines.

City council says its a significant problem and is endorsing a resolution from the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards.

The Association says there are a number of gaps in the system and suggests there are ways of improving the ability of municipalities to collect unpaid fines.
