Last night, artist Greg Travous asked Commissioner ERROL JONES a/k/a ERRONEOUS JONES to recuse himself from voting on the artist suppression ordinances on the grounds of JONES'pronounced personal animus toward artists, citing particular instances of alleged official misconduct involving cursing out artists in the presence of tourists. Without any legal advice and without any Commissioner asking him about the facts, ERROL JONES refused to recuse himself, saying, "you're a liar. Ha Ha Ha."

Based upon what Greg Travous said, it appears that Republican City Commissioner ERROL JONES must recuse himself or face a lawsuit.

Here is Greg Travous' blog entry from www.artinthemarket.blogspot.com:

St. Augustine City Commissioner Errol Jones

Jones, who likes to present himself as a leader from the 60's civil rights movement here in St. Augustine regularly comes down to the Paza de la Constitucion. He is usually in a particular state that propels him to start arguments and throw his 135 pounds around while flashing his gold plated commissioner badge and wearing his custom made polo shirts with "The Commish' emblazoned on the breast (very cute). Unfortunately he has no compunction against agressive confrontation angrily using the 'F' word and being loud with Mom, Dad and the kids walking past. At yesterday's city commission meeting, Errol showed only a slight example of his temper when he said on camera to Suvo, the artist "YOU'RE A LIAR! HA HA HA" Rarely have we ever seen Suvo speechless.

How come the commish can talk and act like a raging teenager that didn't get a present for being an a**. Does he have respect for anyone, children and their families NO but by all means you better have respect for him...
