Dear Ms. Slough:
1. They were sent to the School Board staff, as you know.  
2. No answer yet.  

3. Kindly read my e-mail, which asks you to take other actions, please.
4. Policy questions are properly addressed to you people.  
5. Please respond.  
6. Thank you for showing -- in writing -- your insouciance and indifference about antitrust violations, as you have before about civil rights violations, when you attempted to hornswoggle the people of St. Johns County in 2011 with a redistricting plan that would have violated the Fifteenth Amendment.  We, the People stopped you.
7. Your maladroit response to bid rigging concerns is underwhelming and hardly inspires trust and confidence in our School Board's willingness to do its job without fear or favor of contractors.
8. Ms. Slough, you have time to be an active Republican partisan but little interest in doing your job on our School Board being a potential antitrust crime victim.
9. Perhaps you might wish to consider resigning from the School Board.
With kindest regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Ed Slavin

Dear Chairman Canan and School Board members Slough, Allen, Mignon & Barrera:

1. Please direct our St. Johns County School Board staff to respond to my Open Records Requests Nos. 2016-197,198,199,200,201,202 & 203 of May 27, 2016.

2. Please vote to reject the one bid received for Aberdeen K-8 elementary school, which is reportedly 30% higher than anticipated.

3. Please direct our School Board staff to comply with my request for antitrust referrals to our Florida and U.S. Attorneys General.

4. Kindly direct our School Board staff to make all documents available Tuesday, May 31, 2016.
5. Please place the hiring a new lawyer on a future agenda in the event that Mr. Frank D. Upchurch, III & Co. does not resign. 
6. The conflict of interest inherent in the Upchurch, Bailey & Upchurch law firm representing the Board and private clients, including contractors, requires new counsel.
7. I have spoken with the State Attorney General's Antitrust Division and with FBI, HUD & EPA Senior Special Agent Robert E. Tyndall (Retired): I have sent both AAG Daugherty and Special Agent Tyndall copies of this correspondence.
8. We must proceed with vigor and take prompt action to protect the public interest: "business as usual" is no longer an option in St. Johns County.

Thank you.
With kindest regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Ed Slavin
