FOUNTAINBLEAU DEVELOPMENT lobbyist's law firm chosen as St. Johns County Attorney!



Come speak out at twice-monthly St. Johns County Commission meetings and ask about our County Attorney being a corporate law firm, owned by the next Florida Speaker of the House (SAMUEL PAUL GARRISON) and a former Florida Senator hired as the lobbyist for casino and high rise developer FOUNTAINBLEAU DEVELOPMENT has hired a lobbyist, apparently still seeking to legalize casinos in Florida. 
2. He is a former State Senator, ROBERT BRADLEY, who now lobbies for them under OAK STRATEGIES.
3. Ex-Senator BRADLEY's wife JENNIFER is now a State Senator.
4. Ex-Senator BRADLEY has a law firm, BRADLEY, GARRISON & KOMANDO, which was awarded a sweetheart contract to be our St. Johns County Attorney, vote was 3-2.
5. I have opposed the deal.
6. Next St. Johns County Commission meeting  is Tuesday, November 18, 2025.  FYI: 
FOUNTAINEBLEAU DEVELOPMENT IS ONE OF EX-SENATOR ROBERT BRADLEY's LOBBYING CLIENTS.
7. In 2016, President DONALD JOHN TRUMP's current Chief of Staff, SUSAN SUMMERALL WILES, then a BALLARD PARTNERS lobbyist, sought to inflict slot machines and casinos on St. Johns County through flummery.  County Commissioners, led by Chair Jeb Smith, halted their meretricious, meritless efforts. They failed in getting an illegal referendum on the ballot, having tired it in some eight (8) other counties, an effort the Florida Supreme Court rejected. https://cleanupcityofstaugustine.blogspot.com/2016/07/louche-lobbyist-wiles-demands-slot.html

Email the company and tell them to have one of their attorneys scan this website and see if they can pick up an easy defamation and libel case. If the proof and evidence for the accusations is lacking... they should sue.

Ed Slavin said...

I reckon that KOCH INDUSTRIES and FOUNTAINEBLEAU DEVELOPMENT would not take legal "advice" from sock puppet "Pete," whose violent demented "artwork" shows misogynist, sexist and violent tendencies and is worthy of civil, criminal and administrative investigations by local and federal lawmen. Pray for "Pete."

Ed Slavin said...

Why would any corporation ever take legal "advice" from a tedious tendentious termagant troll? Emitting cliches by the carload, "Pete" is unhinged and has delusions of adequacy. BGK won't hire "Pete." Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd coined the word "Anonymice" to describe such energumens. Say "goodnight," graceless.

Pete said...

I don't have to subject myself to harassment, character assassination, and privacy rights violations to ask you for proof and evidence for your claims. Why don't you just give it?

Pete said...

Nobody said anything about advice and there you go with the name calling instead of offering the proof. The commission already knows what sort of fallacious and irrational mind they're dealing with. Amazing they haven't called security.

Pete said...

Me emailing them and telling them they're being defamed on a libelous website isn't the same as giving them legal advice. I'm giving you legal advice. You'd be sued if you were significant.

Pete said...

"Who is his father" has nothing to do with anything we've discussed so... it's become apparent that you have some kind of psychological issues. You have a father figure living with you at the current moment? You've assumed incorrectly that people should sue you because of some cause you represent.. unless of course that cause is defamation.

Ed Slavin said...

"Defamed?" How? "Pete" lacks a moral compass and lashes out in an angry fashion at questioning County government decisions. What's in it for"Pete." In real life, is this pouty sock puppet connected with a corporation that does business with St. Johns County? Does his father own a corporation that works for SJC and corporations with an interest in overdevelopment? Is he a trust fund baby? What is his father's occupation? Does his father know of his violent imagery attacking assertive, intelligent women who criticize overdevelopment? Does his family know of his emotional problems expressing themselves in hundreds of comments on this blog, to include violent bloody imagery? Does "Pete" have any self-insight? Who is "Pete"? When will "Pete" come out of the closet and identify himself? Who benefits from his emotional defense of corporate power in St. Johns County government?

Ed Slavin said...

What is the etiology of bloody, violent, sexist, misogynist imagery posted by "Pete?" Pray for "Pete" to get help and leave decent people alone.

Ed Slavin said...

Who is "Pete" trying to impress? Potential clients or customers or County Commissioners or developers or investors or sick twists like himself? Does "Pete" have an occupation? Does "Pete" need therapy? Does "Pete" need a new hobby? Why is he so angry at anyone who criticizes St. Johns County government decisionmakingn on development orders? What is his interest?

Pete said...

How about you just offer proof and evidence for your claims if you're going to present claims? So make bogus claims then later we hear "leave descent people alone." How about you be descent and stop bogus claims?

Ed Slavin said...

Asked and answered. No "bogus claims." More petty pettifoggery from petulant "Pete." Gibberish.. Puff and blow. Learn to spell. Evidently "Pete" and family and pals did not learn anything from the sordid overdevelopment history of St. Johns County government, 1998-date. Like DJT, "Pete" will never admit error, and "Pete" projects vile viciousness at anyone who questions the Establishment in SJC. The violent "Pete: artwork attacking two women Commissioners and two women activists makes me wonder about his misogyny, sexism and violent imagination. What ails you, boy?

Pete said...

You aren't in front of a government body exercising your First Amendment rights. You're on the internet spreading libel and defamation. A ripe opportunity for the private entities to collect evidence for a suit if they even care because of the irrelevance and insignificance of the people spreading false narratives.

Ed Slavin said...

Nor "libel and defamation." What "Pete" doesn't know about the First and Ninth Amendments would fill a law library. It is time to drive the money-changers from the temple of our democracy. As FDR said about corporate oligarchs at Madison Square Garden on October 31, 1936, "I welcome their hared." Who is "Pete" and who put the salsa in his shorts? What an ignorant poser.
