Making a little lemonade

All those lawsuits could soon be used as a cash cow in Madison County.

Raising filing fee(s) on attorneys who file lawsuits in Madison County will add a half million dollars to the fiscal 2005 Madison County budget, said County Board Chairman Alan Dunstan.

Exactly which fees end up getting raised, and by how much, will be discussed at Thursday’s Finance Committee meeting. Figures on how much the county takes in annually from filing fees were not available Monday. [snip]

The number of class action lawsuits filed in Madison County jumped from two in 1998 to 43 in 2001. In 2003, they increased to 106, Dunstan said.
