Minnesota Calls Shenanigans on Illinois Tollway

Oh, Illinois Tollway, you've done it now. You've gone and upset our friends from the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson is claiming the Illinois Tollway is sending tickets to Minnesota drivers even though the drivers weren't in Illinois at the time the ticket is issued. According to the Trib:

In some cases, Swanson says the tollway system photographs license plates but then uses outdated license information and tickets the wrong people.

Some Illinois lawmakers have vowed to fix the system. But in a letter to Illinois officials, Swanson requests a moratorium on mailing tickets to Minnesota car owners and asks them to stop collection agencies from threatening Minnesotans who haven't paid alleged fines.
