Record apparently erred on meeting with Senators

The first time I ever saw Kati Bexley at a St. Augustine City Commission meeting, one of the Commissioners, Mayor JOSEPH LEROY BOLES, JR> had his arm around her during a recess, apparently reflecting his sexism or status as an old family friend.

Kati Bexley has never shaken off the stigma of being BOLES' friend. Most recently, she wrote an article that states that City Chief Operating Officer JOHN REGAN and Vice Mayor ERROL JONES met with two U.S. Senators Nelson and Martinez. Listening to the report of REGAN and JONES last night, I realized Bexley was wrong, again. REGAN and JONES met with Senatorial staffers, not the Senators -- their account had no mention of any meeting with either Senator Nelson or Senator Martinez. Ooops.

That's the kind of detail Bexley constantly misses. She's intelligent, but too easily influenced by government officials (including her father's friend, Mayor BOLES).

Last year, Kati Bexley gathered information for an article about E coli in rivers near St. Augustine, but never printed a word in the Record.

The size of the proverbial "spike" in the St. Augustine newsroom is big enough to encompass many suppressed news stories, such as the story of how crooked Philistine developers almost succeeded in destroying our Nation's Oldest City and the surrounding county with their ugly, foreign-funded monstrosities (almost all of them represented by mendacious GEORGE McCLURE, formerly of ROGERS TOWERS).

There Tennessee Valley Authority eventually hires the reporters who do its bidding in Tennessee (what Ralph Nader would call the "deferred bribe.")

Here in St. Augustine, all the little WILLIAM B. HARRISS political machine frontmen (like Mayor JOSEPH LEROY BOLES, JR.) have to do to win fawning obeisance from putative "reporters" is smile and put their proverbial arms around them. They own you, Kati.

Sorry Kati, but your latest biased story (below) is journalistic malpractice and a breach of the standard of care. You can do better. How about a correction?

How about writing about Riberia Street based on your own investigative skills, instead of acting like one more of HARRISS' shills? You'll be glad you did.
