If Chicago can get away with this, what about other Illinois communities who have the same type of debts owed to them? What if child support is owed to the state? or monies to any other state agencies for some reason? This is a can of worms that will be challenged.

The Feds already allow for Federal refunds to be grabbed for state mandated child support scofflaws and other Federal IOUs.

If the money is owed to a government entity; then the court system will have no problem ensuring that money already paid (over payments on taxes) to another entity gets assigned to the proper location.

Rage not found. If you owe money to them then they can just deduct it from the return you were going to get.

Democracy in action; people get the politicians they deserve. Those who hate Chicago will see this as another reason to call people stupid for living there, lots more don't give a shit what happens to Chicago people and their tax return money, and people who like the city will find somehow to excuse away what is being planned or claim it's somehow good and noble.

Are you saying it is wrong to pay your just and legally owed fines etc...?

I think it is a good move. More cities should do this.

Good i hope every state/city starts doing that. I know a few months ago one of the news stations out here did a thing on some of the worst offenders for parking tickets in Seattle. Quite a few people owed $5000+ and just plain didnt pay since there were basically no repercussions. Not sure if the city changed anything or not but i say if you owe money...take it from the tax refunds. Granted we dont have state returns so who knows how they would do it here

Are you so mired in partisan butt hurt that you think finding a good, clean way to force scofflaws to pay what they owe needs to be claimed it's somehow good and noble.

Take your head out of your ass, it absolutely IS.

maybe if you knew how corrupt parking in chicago was.

you can get tickets for being legally parked, challenge it, get it thrown out

then weeks later get a 150+ dollar bill for 'admin costs' related to challenging the ticket.

its another way for chicago to buttfuck everyone

I got a ticket last summer($75!) for parking in a spot that said no parking Oct to March, for parking in 'restricted parking'

it was June, not october through march. I went ahead and paid it, since 2 of my friends got them earlier, and go them overturned and the price they paid DOUBLED via 'admin costs'

I will never park in any spot in chicago again with a 'restricted time period' because they just ticket you anyways, now they will steal my income tax refund to collect their bogus fines? how about not.

lol @ Illinois

What a joke of a state.

Although, we'll all be just as broke and desperate in another decade or so.

Don't like Emanuel, but I don't have an issue with this. Hell, the IRS does it with federal refunds.
