The prospect of increasing the amount paid to Kankakee County residents for jury duty was discussed this morning in the Kankakee County Board’s Criminal Justice Committee. 21st Judicial Circuit Chief Judge Tom Cunnington told the committee a recent survey had been done of what counties across the state pay for jury duty
Cunnington added some counties didn’t pay mileage, but of those that did, Kankakee County’s 10 cents a mile was lowest with several paying the going IRS allowable rate, which is 65-and-a-half-cents per mile.
The committee decided to send the proposal to the finance committee for consideration.
