California Fix-It Ticket Fines to Almost Triple

The Mercury News reports that cash strapped California is looking to Fix-it tickets as a cash cow. Fix-it tickets are scheduled to jump to $25.00 from $10.00. If you are late in taking car of the problem the ticket jumps to $50.00. If you have another outstanding minor traffic ticket it could jump to over $100. Regular traffic tickets will be bumped by $35.00. Parking tickets are to go up by $3.00.

Is this the Legislature's new budget strategy? No new taxes just huge fines?
