Saturday July 19, 2008 The OK House - NOT OK Is Nexus Next? Mille Lacs News Staff Writer Here's a question for all Mille Lacs County residents. If you have been reading the Mille Lacs News like you should, then you know that Nexus exists primarily through your tax dollars. But did you know that you were also paying for "poor, troubled youth" in Stearns County? The OK House, which recently closed, had some things in common with the Mille Lacs Academy in Onamia, like the OK House, a non-secure detention facility for juveniles ages 11 - 17, was also funded primarily through your tax dollars. But unlike Nexus, which utilizes tax dollars throughout the country, the OK House was paid for by residents from Benton, Sherburne, Kanabec, and Mille Lacs counties. And when these counties decided to no longer fund the OK House, it folded. Could the same thing happen to Nexus if the counties decided to withdraw their support? Read this article by Dawn Slade in the Mille Lacs County Times to find out what happened. It's pretty interesting.
