Judicial branch expands payment options

The Minnesota Judicial Branch is making it easier and more convenient for more people to make payments on their court-ordered fines and fees in criminal cases.
Individuals who have a court-ordered fine or fee in a criminal case charged by complaint and are on a payment plan can now make a payment through the Court Payment Center’s phone line, or online at the Judicial Branch’s PayFines web page. Prior to this expanded payment option, only individuals charged by citation could make payments online or by phone.
“As more consumers trend to pay their bills online, the Minnesota Judicial Branch is expanding our digital payment options to provide people who have court-ordered fines and fees with a more efficient way to conduct their business with the courts,” said State Court Administrator Jeff Shorba.
In addition to the online and phone payment options, individuals may continue to make payments on their court-ordered fines or fees through the U.S. mail or in person at a courthouse.
This expanded payment option is the first in a series of planned enhancements to the Judicial Branch’s payment system for court-ordered fines and fees. Other enhancements in development include extending phone and online payment options to individuals who are not on a payment plan, and the ability for individuals to pay a court-ordered fine or fee in any amount up to the full amount due.

Distracted driving getting worse

Question: What is being done about distracted driving? It seems like it is getting worse.
Answer: When we think of distracted driving, most of us think of someone holding a phone up to their ear or scrolling through their social media feed. But distracted driving takes a lot of different forms. When you fiddle with your car stereo, you’re taking your eyes and attention off the road. Same with cleaning up a spill from that barbecue sandwich you’re trying to eat. Setting your navigation while driving also distracts from the road, and even passengers can distract you.
The Minnesota State Patrol, along with law enforcement across the state is currently conducting an extra distracted driving enforcement campaign that runs through April 30.
Troopers, deputies and officers will be looking to educate those drivers who are distracted and enforce Minnesota’s hands-free law that went into effect in 2019. Law enforcement cited 19,778 drivers for failing to comply with the hands-free law in 2020.
 
Hands-free cell phone law
The law allows a driver to use their cell phone to make calls, text, listen to music or podcasts and get directions, but only by voice commands or single-touch activation without holding the phone. Remember, hands-free is not necessarily distraction-free.
•$100 or more including court fees for a first offense.
•$300 or more including court fees for a second and/or subsequent offense.
•If you injure or kill someone while violating the hands-free law, you can face a felony charge of criminal vehicular operation or homicide.
We want people to drive smart and focus 100 percent of their attention on the road to help avoid a tragedy that could change a family’s life forever. Distracted driving contributes to an average of 31 deaths and 192 life-changing injuries a year (2016-2020).
Please park the phone, turn it off, put it out of reach, or use a hands-free device. Pre-program your radio stations, and adjust your mirrors and vents before you leave. Map out your destination and route in advance. Avoid messy foods and secure your beverage. Model proper driving behavior for your kids, and ask your passengers to help with anything that might take your attention away from the road.
With just a few adjustments, you can stay safe on the road and decrease your chances being involved in a crash.
 
If you have any questions concerning traffic-related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester MN 55901-5848.  (Or reach him at, Troy.Christianson@state.mn.us)

The power of divine forgiveness

I'm sure you've heard the old saying, “To err is human, to forgive, divine.” I wonder if you know who said it?
Some attribute this famous line to Shakespeare while others think it can be found somewhere in the Bible.
The man who actually coined this phrase was the poet Alexander Pope. It's just one line out of 750 others in his first major poem, “An Essay on Criticism,” which he penned when he was only 23.
Pope wrote this poem for aspiring authors, and this particular section was to remind them that everyone makes mistakes and they should not be so critical of those who criticize them.
But for Christians, I think it’s possible for us to take more away from the line, “To err is human, to forgive, divine.” It recalls our weak and sinful natures and reminds us that true forgiveness is not born out of the human will but only from the divine will of God. 
In Matthew 18, we find that Peter has come to Jesus with a question. He asks, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me and I forgive him?”
Forgiveness was a common topic for Jesus. Its importance could not be understated. Jesus had taught the disciples what to do if someone sinned against them, but what about the one who wants forgiveness? How many times must we forgive the one who sins against us?
The question itself gives insight into the human will. It's as if Peter and the other disciples want to know the bare minimum required of them to be good Christians.
Peter probably thought it was pretty generous to suggest forgiving one’s erring brother or sister seven times! After all, Jewish custom held that three times was plenty.
But even with Peter’s good intentions, he’s still trying to put a limit on God's grace. He's still trying to figure out at which point a person no longer deserves forgiveness.
What he fails to recognize is that no one deserves God's forgiveness, and yet we receive it anyway.
Jesus then tells a parable which illustrates the underlying absurdity of Peter's question. In the parable, a king calls a servant to pay his debt. He is told that he owes 10,000 talents – an incredible amount of money. The servant begs the king, “Have patience with me and I will pay you everything!” He underestimates what he owes and foolishly thinks that he can repay it.
Jesus says, “And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.”
In just one little line we see the wonderful mercy of this king, and by correlation the limitless grace of our God.
Our ability to forgive others is born out of the great mercy God has shown us. It is a powerful gift with the ability to settle disputes, heal broken hearts, and mend torn relationships. Yes, it is true, “To err is human, to forgive, divine,” but through God’s grace we are called to forgive others as God has forgiven us.

Delinquent tax list
Notice of Delinquent Taxes

NOTICE OF DELINQUENT TAXES
State of Minnesota                             District Court
County of Rock                       Fifth Judicial District
TO: ALL PERSONS WITH A LEGAL INTEREST IN THE PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING DELINQUENT TAX LIST
A list of real property in Rock County on which delinquent property taxes and penalties are due has been filed with the District Court Administrator of Rock County.  This list is published to inform all persons that the listed property is subject to forfeiture because of delinquent taxes.
The property owner, taxpayer, or other interested person must either pay the tax and penalty, plus interest and costs, or file a written objection with the district court administrator. The objection must be filed by April 21, 2021, stating the reason why the tax or penalty is not due on the property.  If no objection is filed, a court judgment will be entered against the property for the unpaid tax, penalty, interest and costs.
For property under court judgment, the period of redemption begins on May 10, 2021. The period of redemption means the time within which taxes must be paid to avoid losing the property through forfeiture. The period of redemption is three years, with a handful of exceptions. The redemption period is one year for most properties located in a targeted neighborhood, as defined in the Minnesota laws, and for municipal solid waste disposal facilities. The redemption period is five weeks for certain abandoned or vacant properties.
  You may also enter into a confession of judgment as an alternative method to paying off the delinquent tax amount and avoiding forfeiture.  This allows you to pay the delinquent balance in equal annual installments with a down payment due at the time you confess judgment.  The length of the installment plan varies: 5 years for commercial-industrial/public utility property; 10 years for all other properties.
If you have homesteaded property, you may be eligible for a Senior Citizen’s Property Tax Deferral, which enables seniors to pay just 3% of their total household income and allow remaining amounts to become a lien on the property that may be deferred for later payment (perhaps upon eventual sale of the property).
It should also be noted by property homesteaders that you are ineligible to receive the Property Tax Refund while you owe delinquent property tax.
To determine how much interest and costs must be added to pay the tax in full, contact the Rock County Auditor-Treasurer’s Office, Rock County Courthouse, 204 East Brown St, PO Box 509, Luverne, Minnesota 56156-0509. You may also contact the Auditor-Treasurer at (507) 283-5060 or ashley.kurtz@co.rock.mn.us.
