One of the first people to comment said that he had a coming hearing.  I&#8217;m glad to say that he was successful in his protest, and has been excused from his fines.  But, it seems that he is the exception that makes the rule.<br \/>\nIf this is a subject of interest to you, I recommend that you go into the archives and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redeaglespirit.com\/blog\/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=919\">read the comments from June 9th.<\/a>  You&#8217;ll find advice on how to prepare for your hearing, and also information on two lawyers who may bring a class action suit against the Tollway Authority.<br \/>\nApparently, law abiding toll payers who pass through the gate rather than waiting for the light to change to green  have been rounded up in the hunt for the scofflaws.  It seems that  the delay in registering the toll is causing a serious problem.  Another problem is the number of malfunctioning  toll booths.  The Authority assumes that IPASS equipment malfunctions and that the toll booths always work right..  It will be interesting to see how this unfolds in the courts.<br \/>\nTo those of you who paid the tolls&#8230;.good luck with your cases.  To those of you who didn&#8217;t&#8230;.pony up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems that my entry on June 9th has been a magnet for people who are being hounded by the Illinois Tollway Authority for failing to pay tolls.
