West Virginia Looks to Boost Revenue with Court Costs

The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals yesterday moved to boost revenue from traffic tickets by warning lower courts that they must collect the maximum possible amount in court costs from each defendant. The admonition came during a meeting of the Magistrate Education Committee which continues today.
