When Melanie Little received a call with an Illinois area code, she answered thinking it might be someone from her childhood in southern Illinois.
But it was a collection agency calling about an unpaid traffic ticket in Jefferson County. From 1983. When Little was around 14 years old.
“I wouldn’t have even been legally able to drive,” said Little, who now lives in Florida.
Little is among current or former Illinois residents who have received calls — sometimes repeatedly — from collection agencies hired by counties in the state to collect unpaid tickets, some going back decades.
I expect to get a rotten deal, a white person in California with back taxes? The taxes are small, actually smaller then the price of a tax lawyer, but it involves me dealing with a racist failed Hispanic state, something I swore never to do. No one likes failed Hispanic states, or failed pension states, or any of that. I never voted for this stuff, it is Pelosi's crew who created the mess.
