Posted January 29, 2018 10:00 pm
Nearly 40 percent of the 1.2 million motorists denied due process after being slapped with tickets from Chicago's red light and speed-cameras have claimed their slice of a $38.75 million settlement pie.
Cash refunds will go to 389,187 motorists who paid their tickets. The average refund check: $36.62.
In addition, 78,638 motorists who never paid their tickets will have part of their debt forgiven and become eligible for additional debt relief going forward.
Under that previously undisclosed $82.3 million program, motorists who pay whatever is left of their fine after the partial debt is wiped out will have late fees and collection costs waived.
