Still no response to my April 16, 2025 9:29 AM e-mail requesting an interview with SARAH ARNOLD.
But then, later that day, SARAH ARNOLD wrote me and insulted me at 6:26:28 PM EDT, oddly wishing me "Happy Easter!"
I can just feel the love.
Devious developer-funded Governor RONALD DION DeSANTIS-appointed devious developer-funded County Commissioner SARAH ARNOLD.
An avid supporter of clearcutting, secrecy, flummery, dupery and nincompoopery, Commissioner SARAH ARNOLD openly and notoriously smirked and laughed April 15, 2025 at the people who opposed outsourcing the County Attorney job to a corporate law firm co-owned by Florida House Speaker-designate and other politicians. The fix was in and she had three votes. Channeling CRUELLA DeVILLE from 101 Dalmations, cruel SARAH ARNOLD showed her truculence, her true self.
So I asked that the video be preserved. This is how ARNOLD saw fit to respond:

Does ARNOLD's rictus response to citizen testimony against a sweetheart contract for BRADLEY, GARRISON & KOMANDO, P.A. -- and her April 16, 2025 e-mail to me -- show her deep-seated emotional problems with First Amendment protected activity?
Does she need a "checkup from the neck up," as my late friend, client and mentor, EPA Inspector General Senior Special Agent Robert E. Tyndall would say?
You tell me.
SARAH ARNOLD actually ends her e-mail by saying "Happy Easter!"
How gauche and louche.
Does that sound like a haughty honky-tonk medley of hubris, hypocrisy, blasphemy or heresy?
You tell me.
Let's vote her out in 2026.
On April 15, 2025, SJC BoCC voted 3-2 to approve a corrupt sweetheart contract with the law firm of Florida politicians, including Florida House Speaker-designate SAMUEL PAUL GARRISON. I've written about it here on this blog and Ms. Nicole Crosby recently wrote about it in a Florida Times-Union column:

In response to my request to preserve evidence of her rude rictus behavior on April 15, 2025 during testimony against the sweetheart County Attorney contract, Commissioner SARAH ARNOLD showed her animus and immaturity.
SARAH ARNOLD presents herself as smarmy joyless brat, appointed by Governor RONALD DION DeSANTIS at the behest of Senator-developer TRAVIS JAMES HUTSON. Married to a corporate lawyer, her father-in-law is a former judge. ARNOLD is opposed to a tree preservation ordinance. ARNOLD was like an alien implant on St. Johns County Commission, put there to vote for HUTSON's SILVERLEAF, her first vote on Commission. Arrogant ARNOLD rather reminds me of Bill Clinton's aphorism: "If you're driving down the road and you see a turtle sitting on top of a fence post, you know that somebody put her there."
On April 15, 2025, I observed DeSANTIS-appointed St. Johns County Commissioner SARAH ARNOLD smirking at people concerned testifying in opposition to unethical SJC BoCC actions -- hiring a corporate law firm as County Attorney. I put her rictus on the record.
Later that day, I filed a routine records request to preserve evidence -- all of the video from all of the cameras on April 15, 2025, showing Commissioners faces, especially on items 1 and 8.
No response from SJC County Attorney RICHARD CHRISTIAN KOMANDO yet.
Rather than responding to my request, arrogant SARAH ARNOLD doubles down, insulting me, saying that no one ever smiles at me except for her. Really?
What a creepy kooky sinister cynical satrap.
SARAH ARNOLD rather reminds me of DONALD JOHN TRUMP -- she's a mocker.
Justice is not mocked.
The illegal, irregular unconstitutional hiring of a corporate law firm as County Attorney is a stench in the nostrils off our Nation. There must be civil, criminal and administrative investigations. Now.
What an immense ego SARAH ARNOLD manifests. In the words of the late Hawaii U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye during the Watergate hearings about corrupt President RICHARD MILHOUS NIXON's domestic policy aide, JOHN DANIEL EHRLICHMAN, a criminal lying Watergate witness, "What a liar!"
At 6:26 PM on the evening of April 16, 2025, Commissioner SARAH ARNOLD sent me a snippy, snooty, snide e-mail.
Contemplate the ridicule and rodomontade emanating from hick hack sad sack SARAH ARNOLD, whose large signs on commercial property bragged that she was APPOINTED BY GOVERNOR RON DeSANTIS.
Not exactly a BFOQ (bona fide occupational qualification).
ARNOLD is an unjust steward.
ARNOLD is a developer doormat.
ARNOLD lies and sounds unhappy, trying to affect normality.
Angry ARNOLD sounds like she's obsessed with me. In the words of J. Danforth Quayle, "I wear her scorn as a badge of honor." SARAH ARNOLD needs help. Let's help her find new employment. ARNOLD's smarmy "services," in the words of Jimmy Breslin "such as they are, will no longer be required...."
Again, here's SARAH ARNOLD's smarmy April 16, 2025 6:26 e-mail in response to my April 15, 2025 request to preserve evidence:

At least you got an email from her! I've not been able to meet with her or to ever communicate a single word with her in the nearly 3 years I have been asking for her take on SJC Public Works frauds and Inverse Condemnation. Granted she is not my District Commissioner, but I certainly pity those regular folks she claims as constituents.
Probably people who email them with false information and incorrect assumptions just get ignored or blocked. Why would they feed into bogus narratives or conspiracy theories? And why would they communicate with people who consistently won't accept the results of their decisions? What's the point?
She mocks the first amendment with her "right to smile" remark - clearly a dig at Krista's first amendment victory over Arnold's attempt to snuff out her free speech.
Clearly they can all speak so exaggerated claims of "snuffing out free speech" is the bogus narrative.
People in SJC hate democracy as evidenced by this blog. Many would rather have some theocratic regime apparently...based upon irrational ideology. Lotta mind bending irrational ideology has distorted perspectives and understanding of what truth is and is not.
Atheist Pete-zza News Guy - clearly they can speak because Krista fought for free speech - and won. As for Arnold, she's either mocking Krista's win or she's just dumb and doesn't realize that smiling is not explicitly a First Amendment right. The First Amendment protects freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and the right to petition the government. While a smile could be considered a form of nonverbal communication, it's not directly mentioned or specifically protected by the First Amendment.
And lucky for many of you it protects the right to lie and make bogus claims in public, and when in government, your lies and slander are protected by unlimited resources and immunity. One day this will change so... enjoy libel, slander, and defamation while you are still above ground.
Made a scene just for validity is more like it. It's theater performance...
What "lies?" Don't bother to answer by putting words in our mouths that we never said and then regaling us wih your straw man arguments. Looks like Pete and Atheist Pizza guy are interchangeable.
