4 Republican Politicians Under Investigation for Illegal Campaign Contributions from "Developers" -- St. Aug. Record Refuses to Report It Call Them!

Thank you for the kind words to all who responded so positively to the Ponte Vedra Recorder articles about our St. Johns County political scandal (below) – four candidates under investigation for taking illegal campaign contributions (RANDY BRUNSON, MARK MINER, KAREN STERN and BRUCE MAGUIRE), three of whom are past or current public officials (RANDY BRUNSON, KAREN STERN and BRUCE MAGUIRE) and one of whom seeks Ben Rich’s job as County Commissioner (25 year old MARK MINER, a part-time college student and supposedly full-time CSX manager).
It was revealing to read several hot-as-a-two-dollar pistol reactions from those who avoid accountability (RANDY BRUNSON, MARK MINER, KAREN STERN and BRUCE MAGUIRE) on the Ponte Vedra Recorder website.
Memo to RANDY BRUNSON, MARK MINER, KAREN STERN and BRUCE MAGUIRE: I wear your scorn as a badge of honor.
In particular, MARK MINER's hostile heated, personal non sequitur remarks belie his empty promise to restore "respect" to County Commission.
MARK MINER certainly does not respect people who report him to the Election Commission.
MARK MINER looks and sounds like a young Richard Nixon in drag without the five o’clock, without the charm.
In fact, the chilling effect on First Amendment rights by MARK MINER and his entourage show us a lot about character.
MINER, STERN and his coterie of cronies show the truth of what MINER said in his campaign announcement webcast, "we're going to take back St. Johns County." Take it back FROM whom, FOR whom, MARK MINER? Answer here and I will print it.
Obviously, MINER wants to take it back from the people and FOR the developers.
I understand that MARK MINER’s expressed goal is to become President of the United States of America. What a scary thought.
Meanwhile, the St. Augustine Record has not yet bothered reporting the story -- while endorsing two of the candidates who are under investigation for taking illegal campaign contributions.
Shame on Morris Communications and the St. Augustine Record for not trusting the people with the facts.
Call St. Augustine Record Editor Pete Ellis (819-3417) and ask if/when the Record will report the news that RANDY BRUNSON, MARK MINER, KAREN STERN AND BRUCE MAGUIRE are under investigation by the Florida Election Commission for illegal campaign contributions (see Ponte Vedra Recorder).
Newspapers are free to endorse who they choose. But they should not withhold facts.
