DALLAS — Some of the most wanted in Dallas County are not accused of violent crimes. Their problems are about money and in some cases, not paying their way on the city's public transportation system.
"I think they ought to have to pay," said Dallas County Commissioner Mike Cantrell. "If everybody getting on the trains has to pay, they ought to have to pay!"
Cantrell has listed online all the people who owe the county money. For some, it is money owed because they did not pay to register their vehicle or skipped DART fares. He said more than 250,000 people owe Dallas County more than $110 million, which is twice the county's projected deficit.
