There’s no ‘I’
in L.P.O.E.
BY ALISON LUTTERMAN

In his Oct. 28 “Judge Candidate’s
View” column in the
News Tribune, Gunnar Johnson
wrote that “one of the
more notable challenges I
faced as city attorney was
shutting down the Last Place
on Earth head shop. … I am
proud that my legal work
made a difference for the citizens
of Duluth.”
Johnson implied he played
the central, if not singlehanded,
role in identifying
and prosecuting the legal
strategy that closed the Last
Place on Earth. His description
of his involvement was
incorrect, and it’s important to
set the record straight.
The community effort to end
the retail sales of synthetic
drugs at the Last Place on
Earth spanned several years,
involved numerous state and
federal lawsuits and appeals,
and benefitted from the contributions
of countless attorneys,
legal support staff, first
responders, victims, local business
and nonprofit leaders,
and dedicated public servants
at all levels of city, county,
state, and federal government.
Johnson did not prepare,
sign, or submit the city’s court
pleadings or legal briefs; argue
the city’s motions or appeals;
or prosecute the city’s publicnuisance
action at trial. More
to the point, taking individual
credit for the legal work that
closed the Last Place on Earth
rewrites history in a way that
wrongly discounts and diminishes
the sacrifices of
uncountable Duluthians and
public servants who worked
together to end Duluth’s synthetic
drug pandemic in 2013.
Lutterman is a retired deputy city
attorney for the city of Duluth.
LaCoursiere is a former assistant
city attorney for the city of Duluth.
