He finally has two of them (they haven't started yet), but is in jeopardy of going to jail because he can't pay his fine in time. I'd like to pay one of his $80 fines, but can't find a way to do that online. Does anyone have an idea of how to do that?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-83481391715095539952013-12-17T09:12:56.591-08:002013-12-17T09:12:56.591-08:00DECEMBER 13, 2013 --- In nine of the largest 16 ci...DECEMBER 13, 2013 --- In nine of the largest 16 cities in Colorado, judges routinely issue "pay-or-serve" warrants against those too poor to pay court fines.

Judges routinely ignore signs of indigence, such as the defendant is homeless...sometimes costing taxpayers more than the fines.<br /><br />http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_24726701/colorado-cities-jail-poor-who-cant-pay-fines<br />Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-51495155906683260232013-12-14T13:40:30.093-08:002013-12-14T13:40:30.093-08:00There are more than 52,000 people in homeless shel...There are more than 52,000 people in homeless shelters, including about 22,000 children — both record highs. <br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/14/opinion/battling-homelessness-in-new-york-city.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-92201985556060520422013-12-14T05:05:50.600-08:002013-12-14T05:05:50.600-08:00FDR on Unemployment
