Quote Me, Howie: On Roger Reinert's mayoral work

Table of Contents

Gary Doty – "I appreciate that Mayor Roger Reinert has taken on the non-partisan job of mayor just as he should by doing what is best for the citizens of Duluth and not what a political party or any other organization is demanding. While certain groups may not be happy with him on certain issues, I believe the vast majority of people are pleased that he is concentrating on city issues and meeting them head on. I appreciate that the mayor is acknowledging upfront a budget problem in the future and beginning the budget process early.That is called leadership.He has assembled an excellent staff and I believe the mayor and that staff will solve the budget problem and provide the city services that citizens as well as large and small business owners expect."

Nick Patronas – "I am happy with Roger’s first year in office. He has had to fill in so many administration positions and stop the poor job from the prior administration. Streets are cleaner, less panhandling, there is an upbeat vibrating throughout our great town. That being said, knowing Roger, and in talking to him, he is nowhere satisfied. We are lucky to have him as our captain of the ship (city). If we could get some state reps. to start pulling their weight, and the council to start concerning itself about Duluth issues, he could grow Duluth, create jobs, and get housing for all. Best of luck to a good man."
