Said Duluth Mayor Roger Reinert: "St. Louis County Veterans Treatment Court celebrated its 10-year anniversary yesterday. I was honored to attend and provide them with a Mayoral Proclamation helping celebrate the critical work they do.

The court was launched in 2014 after local veterans approached Judge Dale Harris, a retired Navy JAG captain, about creating a court to assist veterans who found themselves in trouble and in the legal system. During its first three years, the St. Louis County Veterans Treatment Court operated informally and assisted more than 60 veterans.

The Veterans Treatment Court is a now a more formalized, but still voluntary, 15 to 18 month program. During the program a judge leads a multidisciplinary team of professionals to collaboratively assist the veteran with an array of services – from emergency financial assistance, to chemical dependency and mental health/trauma counseling, to employment training assistance and temporary housing.

We had a chance yesterday to hear from graduates of the program, to meet Veterans who are also serving as mentors to other Veterans in the program, and to see all the supporting and participating agencies. It was truly moving!"

Howie: Duluth Schools’ referendum will rise or fall on trust

Financial need alone will not carry two operating referendum questions across the finish line Nov. 3. The district must confront a trust issue that has accumulated over two decades and explain why voters should believe the next 10-year, $103 million plan be better than the plans that preceded it.

Howie: Durrwachter has become the council’s most trusted voice

The council is not an advisory committee to the mayor. It is a separate branch of city government, obligated to scrutinize administrative proposals, protect public money and represent residents whose voices cannot be heard from behind the closed doors of City Hall.
