WTF, I thought that's why they call them estimated.

So rather than raise a stink that could make things worse I paid it.

Two months later get two more fines, one for me and one for the wife, same issue, $150.00 each with a $10.00 credit for a balance due of $290.00

Again, figured $450.00 is cheap to keep them from wanting to look deeper so I paid the $290.00.

A month later I got a refund for $290.00.

I cashed it.
If that isn't a perfect indication of government work, IDK what is.
