60 St. Louis County municipalities join holiday warrant forgiveness program
ST. LOUIS COUNTY • More than 60 St. Louis County municipalities have agreed to participate in a warrant forgiveness program for the month of December.
The program, timed for the holidays, is sponsored by Better Family Life and the St. Louis County Municipal Court Improvement Committee.
The latter is a voluntary committee of judges, prosecutors, court administrators, community leaders and defense attorneys who have joined to reform the municipal courts, which have been scrutinized heavily for heaping fines upon the region's poorest citizens.
