In the name of my dad and all those who I know and admire who have served. Happy Veteran's Day.
Did you know Athens-Clarke County has a Veteran's Court? Led by Judge Haggard, The Western Judicial Circuit Veterans Court targets veterans in Athens-Clarke or Oconee County who are or could be charged with a felony or misdemeanor criminal offense stemming from mental illness or substance abuse problems associated with service. It is administered by the Superior Court with supplementary services provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.I enjoy being a part of this community and hearing concerns from citizens, along with hearing ideas from our local elected officials. Thank you to Commissioners Mike Hamby and Russell Edwards along with Athens Clarke County School BOE members Lakeisha Gantt and Patricia Yager for having an open and honest conversation at the West Athens Town Hall. Town halls and community forums are an essential tool of transparency and accountability for any elected official, including DAs. Be on the lookout for Justice Forums coming in 2020!
