Court cost collected 46 years later

Dear Editor,

Last week a friend received notice his driver’s license was suspended for non payment of court cost 27 years ago. After some checking, it seems the county clerk’s office is going back as far as 1970. Why are court costs being collected up to 46 years late? The taxpayers are being cheated by someone. We are paying for something that the convicted people owe. Are the taxpayers getting the shaft again? The State’s Attorney should look into this matter.
