Flagler College Associate Professor of Public Administration JOSEPH SAVIAK, currently conducting an online smear campaign against our heroic reform Mayor Nancy Shaver, was fired by the Orange County Sheriff in 2001 for misusing office letterhead to threaten State Bar officials with "civil and criminal liability" when he flunked the Bar exam:
http://cleanupcityofstaugustine.blogspot.com/2016/10/devious-dividers-desperately-exploiting.html
2. Claims five college degrees, eighteen page "resume," no sense of decency.
3. Wrote ranting cant 175 word run-on sentence that makes English speakers laugh at his gibberish:
"A declining tax base and reduction of city services, unjustified and unexplained tax and fee hikes pushed again and again, no attempts to effectively address serious and worsening traffic congestion when alternatives are available, horrible and very costly business decisions like the city parking garage left completely ignored and unaddressed, constant attacks on major employers, loss of much needed private sector capital investment again and again which is essential to fund city services due to a climate of crony capitalism and overregulation, examples of endless expensive and losing litigation due to bad land use decisions, crumbling infrastructure, constant conflict and gratuitous bickering with city commissioners and city staff thwarting real progress on priority issues, a lack of even the most basic understanding of local government and important public policy issues, a glaring and persistent lack of professionalism in city government, and a catastrophic failure in emergency planning, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation during our worst natural disaster in 5 decades resulting in unnecessary and preventable human suffering and greatly added expenses to families and taxpayers."
4. FIRED as Chief Deputy of the Orange County Sheriff's Department. Not eligible for rehire. Threatened the Florida Board of Bar Examiners with "civil and criminal liability" when he failed the Florida Bar examination, on letterhead of Orange County Sheriff's Department. Never got a Florida law license.

5. Teaches classes at night to government employees, including law enforcement officers.
6. Best buds with ODD TODD NEVILLE, nattering nabob of negativism and principle defender of the ancien regime on St. Augustine City Commission; member of the inner circle of right-wing Republicans who think that they run Northeast Florida.
Fourth District Congressional candidate John Rutherford (center), likely our next Congressman, together with (left to right) our State Senator Travis Hutson, our St. Johns County Clerk of Courts Hunter S Conrad, Flagler College Professor Joe Saviak, Rutherford and to his right Deputy St. Johns County Clerk of Courts Patrick Kilbane, William Dudley, Kevin Doyle and, last, little Marky Miner (a putative financial advisor, opinionated Florida National Guard non-comssioned officer and former St. Johns County Commissioner, who once wrote disdainful remarks about President Barack Obama, on Facebook during a televised address on foreign policy, oddly responding to my criticism of his disrespect for his Commander in Chief by stating that his Commander in Chief is Florida Governor RICHARD LYNN SCOTT).

7. Possibly protected by Flagler College Chancellor and President William Abare (who did not respond to a telephone message seeking information about who to contact to file a complaint against SAVIAK).
8. Married to Chamber or Commerce and property lobbyist CAROL SAVIAK, now being paid by Flagler Hospital to run Establishment's "Volunteer Center," and who still serves on advisory committee on selection of Florida's federal judges.
9. Endorsed controversial St. Augustine Beach Commissioner ANDREA SAMUELS even though he was supposed to be a "moderator" of a "forum" in which SAMUELS was to participate.

10. Threatened to file Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, to wit, a libel lawsuit, while demanding that SAPD and SJSO invoke the "Baker Act" against me; they laughed at him:

>> Mr. Slavin,
>>
>> Our family home was destroyed by Hurricane Matthew. We have spent all of
>> our waking hours aiding our neighbors in Davis Shores as we all recover
>> from tragedy and attempt to rebuild our lives. We are not going to rest
>> until their needs are met and their futures are secure.
>>
>> I dont know you but yesterday you called me out of the blue to repeatedly
>> threaten me and my job at Flagler College if I did not immediately "shut
>> up" in sharing the extremely well documented criticism by my neighbors and
>> community of the Mayor's poor handling of her response to the worst
>> natural disaster to strike our city in five decades.
>>
>> At no time, have I ever relinquished the First Amendment rights I enjoy as
>> an American to both praise and criticize public officials and communicate
>> the very real concerns of my neighbors who are hurting. They have asked
>> me to be their advocate and I will not let them down. This right to speak
>> freely was purchased by the blood of the American soldier - my father was
>> one of millions of American men to fight overseas in World War II to
>> protect our God-given rights against fascist regimes.
>>
>> I am a deeply flawed man living in a broken world. I readily and openly
>> accept responsibility for both major and minor mistakes I have made my
>> life. I would also note that I have been a part of a few successes too.
>>
>> I'm not sure what has possessed you to conduct an extensive investigation
>> of my life and without any meritorious purpose, attack me to my current
>> employer who holds me in very high regard on long-ago issues that are more
>> than 15 years old, have no discernible relationship to my current
>> position, and of which you clearly know nothing about. It's not uncommon
>> in local government in America for senior executives to both join and
>> depart from specific administrations. You are probably unaware that
>> former Sheriff Kevin Beary and I enjoy an excellent relationship and we
>> were invited guests to his retirement celebration which we enjoyed with
>> the Beary family in January 2009. He was one of my biggest supporters
>> when I shared with him that I would be applying for this position at
>> Flagler College 10 years ago and asked me to list him as a strong
>> reference when I applied - this is a position that I truly treasure and
>> cherish as it gives me the unending blessing of mentoring, educating, and
>> aiding others in achieving their personal, professional, and educational
>> goals and helping them to be of greater service to our communities and
>> region.
>>
>> Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has directed me to love those who hurt me
>> and I do love you. I am also taught that we are all accountable for our
>> actions and that I must not be foolish when a man poses a real and direct
>> threat to the safety and well-being of my family.
>>
>> It's very unfortunate that you are making direct threats to our well being
>> and communicating false and defamatory statements designed to destroy my
>> professional and personal reputation, harm my family, and distract me from
>> the number one priority in our lives right now which is to aid others
>> during incredible tragedy and suffering.
>>
>> I'm not sure if it is a behavioral health issue or a lack of character
>> which would inspire such cruelty to a family who has lost everything. If
>> it is a behavioral health issue, I would be glad to assist you in seeking
>> and receiving the appropriate treatment and care.
>>
>> I would be derelict in my responsibilities as a loving husband if I did
>> not notify local law-enforcement that I believe you to be capable of
>> inflicting serious physical harm to my family based upon your irrational
>> and reckless and continued behavior during a very painful tragedy for our
>> community and my family.
>>
>> Via this email I am notifying Sheriff Shoar and Chief Fox that I believe
>> you to be a threat to our well being and and to yourself so that they can
>> consider any and all appropriate actions towards you to ensure both your
>> safety and the safety of others in our community. Their experience and
>> expertise will of course guide their decision-making but at a minimum I
>> might suggest the use of the Baker Act to ensure that you receive the
>> treatment and care that your actions and words clearly communicate you are
>> in immediate need of right now. When I asked you yesterday during our
>> very unexpected phone conversation if you could please desist from this
>> behavior so that I can completely focus on the recovery needs of my
>> neighbors, your response has been to increase your attacks on and threats
>> to a family you don't know who is hurting as a result of an awful tragedy
>> - this indicates a very irrational state of mind.
>>
>> Since you have emailed false and defamatory statements to my employer with
>> the clearly communicated and deliberate intention to deprive me of
>> employment despite my record of outstanding service to our college, I want
>> to advise you of two things.
>>
>> First I want to give you the opportunity to apologize. We have all said
>> and done things of which we are not proud. Please consider this to be a
>> formal request for you to email everyone you have contacted with a sincere
>> and formal apology by 5 PM today.
>>
>> I am also directing our longtime and trusted family attorney Brendan
>> O'Connell to initiate any and all actions that he deems appropriate to
>> hold you accountable for the damage you are doing to my family and to
>> protect us from further attacks or abuses by you.
>>
>> It is entirely possible that if you were to immediately apologize to
>> everyone involved and cease and desist from any and all attacks on and
>> threats to my family and career during this horrific time in our lives
>> that we might be able to resolve the matter. However, either due to a
>> mental or behavioral health issue or a profound absence of character I
>> believe you to be completely incapable of controlling yourself right now.
>> For example, the fact that you threaten me and attempt to ruin my career
>> and then ask me to drop everything that I'm doing while helping hurting
>> neighbors during a crisis so that I can provide an interview to you based
>> upon my expertise and research in public private partnerships also
>> indicates that you are completely out of touch with reality right now.
>>
>> For a man to viciously attack and attempt to economically ruin a family in
>> the middle of terrible tragedy is hard for me to fathom. I am reminded of
>> the simple and truthful eloquence of the General Counsel for the United
>> States Army Joseph Welch who when confronted by lies and irresponsible
>> attacks on decent men and women by a clearly irrational individual
>> responded, "Have you no shame?"
>>
>> Today, there are people counting on my family to help their families and
>> it is somewhat frustrating that I had to divert even just a few minutes
>> from their suffering and real needs to respond to you. I also regret
>> having to take a single minute away from our local law-enforcement
>> authorities to even look at something like this. However, your bizarre
>> and threatening behavior leaves us with no other options and I am unable
>> to ignore the obvious potential threat to my family. My wife is already
>> under significant stress and it very much pains me that she could be hurt
>> further now - I must protect her.
>>
>> I must now focus on the very serious problems of my neighbors and I turn
>> this to over to law-enforcement and our family attorney. I want you know
>> that I love you and I'm praying for you and I very much hope that you get
>> the help that you very much need.
>>
>> Please consider this communication to be speaking truth with love.
>> Rational individuals would understand why I must take the actions
>> described in this communication in order to protect my family and others
>> and you from your own state of mind and actions.
>>
>> Please stop repeatedly calling me and emailing me and attempting to reach
>> me via social media. Please direct your communications to our family
>> attorney who is on this email.
>>
>> I very much hope that you can quickly receive the attention and help that
>> your out of control behavior clearly demands that you need now.

JOE SAVIAK never responded to my response letter, which stated:
Dear Professor Saviak:
1. You and I had a very brief and cordial conversation yesterday
afternoon about Pier Park, public-private partnerships and the St.
Augustine National Historical Park and National Seashore. You hurried
off the telephone and did not have time to talk about what I said are
your material false statements about Mayor Nancy Shaver -- I told you
"assumed facts not in evidence." You stated your expertise in having
"five college degrees." You then promised to call me back. You never
did call me back.
2. I did not libel or threaten or stalk you, or anyone.
3. I never said, "Shut up" or any words to that effect.
4. I made one (1) post on your Facebook page, politely pointing out
your errors in one sentence, again stating you had "assumed facts not
in evidence" in your five questions.
5. I left one (1) message at your office, then reached you on your
cellular telephone. I left a message for Flagler College President
Dr. William Abare, who has not responded to my inquiry about
procedures for filing complaints against Flagler College faculty.
6. You lie, Professor Saviak.
7. Your statements are all false and misleading.
8. I have advised attorney Tom Cushman of your actions in contacting
law enforcement and attempting to invoke the Baker Act.
9. I have shared your two (2) threatening E-mails with The New York Times.
10. Please cease and desist from your insolence, including your
invoking our veterans and the name of "Our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ" to justify your angry attempts to chill, coerce, intimidate
and retaliate against my God-given right to engage in First and Ninth
Amendment protected activity in:
(A) Reporting on your overt acts on my blog; and
(B) Making Open Records requests to The Florida Bar and Orange County
Sheriff's Office pursuant to F.S. 119 and Article I, Section 24 of our
Florida Constitution, enacted by vote of 83% of Florida voters (3.8
million people) in 1992.
11. My father won three Bronze stars and was at age 31 one of the
oldest soldiers parachuting into Normandy on D-Day -- the Edward A.
Slavin South Jersey Chapter of the 82nd Airborne Divn. Assn. is named
for my father. My father taught me -- as JFK's father taught him --
that governments and corporations must be held accountable, and that
"if you don't stand up to people in power, they will walk all over
you." Your effort to silence me is misguided, and an utter failure,
like similar efforts by others in the past. Your threats are beneath
the dignity of a free prople.
12 I am praying for you. I forgive you. I hope that you will stop
your defamation, intimidation and threatening behavior toward
reformers as our town recovers from Hurricane Matthew. Our community
needs healing, not heels. As JFK said, "here on Earth, God's work
must truly be our own."
Thank you.
With kindest regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Ed Slavin

"MODERATOR" OF SABCA DEBATE, FLAGLER COLLEGE PROF. JOSEPH "JOE SIXPACK" SAVIAK ENDORSED SAB COMMISISION CANDIDATE ANDREA SAMUELS
Flagler College has no tenure and no academic freedom, and its arachnid apparatchiks, including JOE SAVIAK are apparently backing an unqualified Hate Radio station owner in her attempt to unseat reform Mayor Nancy Shaver. Wonder why?
Flagler College Professor JOE SAVIAK a/k/a "JOE SIXPACK" is the unprincipled former Chief Deputy of the Orange County Sheriff's Department fired for sending threatening letters on Sheriff's letterhead, threatening dire consequences -- "civil and criminal liability" to the Florida Board of Bar Examiners and a Florida Supreme Court Justice because SAVIAK failed the Bar exam.
