GOP warns SAFE-T Act may raise taxes – Edwardsville Intelligencer

Madison County Treasurer Chris Slusser said Circuit Clerk Thomas McRae is concerned the SAFE-T Act may become burdensome in his office, costing $300,000 to $500,000 annually in lost revenue. He cited a dramatic rise in staffing requirements, including weekend work for judges, circuit clerks, bailiffs, prosecutors, public defenders and court staff. His office estimates the law will generate between $1 million to $2 million every year in personnel costs.
