"The other option is that those who do not pay their fees have a say in how the money paid by others is spent & who is in charge to make related decisions? It's unclear how this would be considered more "just"."
Everybody should be paying their fees, regardless if they pay the poll tax or they get sent to collections. That's why I don't understand why the "pre-payers" get to vote and the ones who will be paying interest plus back payments don't.
I understand that some people have never paid- that is the fault of past boards not using legal collection procedures.
It just seems to me like the system is rigged to always favor more and higher road fees, and the ones that can afford that the least are the ones who don't have any voice.
