County evasive on $140 pair of scissors

UPDATE: Still no response. Wonder why?

County must be candid about $140 pair of scissors. Symbol of lavish spending by all-Republican St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners' fraud, waste, abuse, misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, flummery, dupery, nincompoopery and no-bid contracts.  Like Boss Tweed and Boss J. Michael Curley, their sins have found them out.  Help expose these wastrels.

Please respond.
Please make the $140 pair of ceremonial scissors available for inspection and public comment during the 5/3/2016 BCC meeting.
Has an investigation been opened yet on waste, fraud and abuse?

No bids, research, request, requisition? Does county not have scissors in inventory?  Did someone swipe them?

Why were they ordered?  Who requested?  Where are they kept?  In what department? Please provide inventory and requisition records and cost justification.  Thanks.

Dear Mr. Slavin:
I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your public records request. St. Johns County will determine if it has any records that are responsive to your request. If any such records are located, we will compile them and redact any exempt material prior to providing them to you. Should it be determined that the nature or volume of the public records requested requires the extensive use of information technology resources, or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, or both, then we will first respond with an estimate of the additional charges for the actual costs incurred, and whether a deposit will be required. In such instance, the records will be compiled only after you approve the charges and the County receives any required deposit. Payment for the total or remaining costs can be made when the records are available. If the actual cost is less than your deposit, you will be refunded the balance.
Thank you,
Asha.
