Clean Up City of St. Augustine, Florida

In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

Pete said...: Just heaping on the defamation and libel. Maybe they'll suffer somehow if it gets out of hand then at some point they sue Ed Slavin. Punitive damages, remedy, public humiliation because only defense is senility and/or mental incapacity, mentally incompetent, mentally disordered?; 10:55 AM
Ed Slavin said...: Who is "Pete?" This sinister sock puppet NEVER posted on this blog until after I questioned the wisdom of hiring a dodgy corporate law firm owned by Florida Republican politicians, for the job of St. Johns County Attorney. I will not be intimidated by hick hack sad sacks who feel entitled to clear-cut our forests, control our governments and discriminate and retaliate against ethical employees.; 10:59 AM
Ed Slavin said...: When will perseverating "Pete" come out of the closet and identify himself or herself?; 11:00 AM
Atheist Pizza said...: You refer to people who assault police, adhere to conspiracy theories, and crash cars into people as "community activists"? What sort of community activism is that?

Pete said...: No, the BKG people didn't do anything to trees, you're defaming them just because you don't like the results of a democracy process, therefore you should be sued and then move to China. You don't have to worry about the results of democracy there.; 11:29 AM
Pete said...: I would never solicit business from BKG because of what I've read here. That's what I'm going to tell the judge at your hearing for libel and defamation. That they lost business because of your baseless public accusations.; 1:26 PM
Ed Slavin said...: You heard it here first. "Pete" just threatened to commit perjury and too manufacture evidence. Is that the first time that "Pete" ever did that? So is "Pete" now saying that he is a lawyer? Please identify yourself, "Pete." Florida Bar prosecutor needs to read all of your posts, on several platforms, under multiple personalities and sock puppets.; 1:44 PM
Pete said...: Nope. It's true. I wouldn't do business with them because of your bogus accusations and claims all of which can be found here on this blog. All I have to say is that and the evidence for defamation is all here on this website.; 1:47 PM
Ed Slavin said...: Is "Pete" now reversing his prior claims that he is not a lawyer?; 7:47 PM
Ed Slavin said...: What interests in, ownership of, inheritance prospects or other relationships connect "PETE" to BGK or ETM?; 7:48 PM
Ed Slavin said...: Who is "Pete"?; 7:49 PM
Pete said...: Are you reversing your prior claims of hiring because friends and corruption? No, you aren't, and tomorrow we will wake up to more baseless accusations and defamatory conspiracy theories because you'd risk suit to gain some kind of validity in life. Any relevance is better than none... kinda like Trump 2016.; 7:53 PM
Pete said...: I'm sure you'll tell everyone here that I'm associated with people I'm not. Whatever you can simply think and say is true. How you have avoided suit with that sort of psychological makeup is a miracle really. Your self imposed insignificance works in your favor.; 7:55 PM
Ed Slavin said...: "Pete" has repeatedly threatened me with civil liability or criminal prosecution and arrest for speaking the truth about BGK and its sweetheart contract to be SJC County Attorney. Now we know that FOUNTAINBLEAU DEVELOPMENT, a multi-billion dollar international development corporation with interests in gambling, is an OAK STRATEGIES lobbying client of BGK partner, former State senator and current St. Johns River Water Management District Chir ROBERT MILNER BRADLEY, JR. What do y'all reckon? Confession is good for the soul. Tell us, "Pete," what is your motivation in all off this? Speak.; 7:56 PM
Pete said...: I'm not gonna sue you because you've stopped short with simply insinuations with me. With others, you've broken the boundaries with libel and defamation and you could be sued. Of course you don't have the scruples to understand that. You're basically a danger to yourself in your old age.; 7:59 PM
Ed Slavin said...: Yawn. Say goodnight, graceless.; 8:06 PM
Ed Slavin said...: BGK is ill-suited to government service as County Attorney. County should cancel the contract and seek a living breathing County Attorney.; 8:09 PM
Pete said...: Your self imposed insignificance, irrelevance, and lack of credibility has you willing to say anything or do anything to maintain a shred of validity. You've whittled away your chances to maintain more integrity based validity with just this sort of behavior. Have you no insight?; 8:11 PM
Pete said...: You're just opposing something just to oppose it to maintain some semblance of validity in life. It's probably not possible for you to do honestly so we see what you've reduced yourself to.; 8:13 PM
Ed Slavin said...: Huh? Lax refusal of County Commissioners to protect the public interest. Your flummery, dupery and nincompoopery typify the genre of the corrupt political machine that dumped a landfill in a lake an thought they'd get away with it. We, the People see right through you, and the SJC political machine and all your works and pomps. Say goodnight, graceless. We did not elect Commissioners to be rubber-stamps for Corporate America. Your authoritarian malarkey is goofy. Why were Commissioners never informed about the lobbying firm owned by former Senator ROBERT BRADLEY, whose wife is now a Senator? Former Senator ROBERT BRADLEY's lobbying clients include a "world-class developer," FOUNTAINEBLEAU DEVELOPMENT. Why did snooty County Attorney RICHARD CHRISTIAN KOMANDO stiff reform SJC Commissioner Ann Taylor when she asked for a list of BGK's lobbying clients? What plans do FOUNTAINEBLEAU DEVELOPMENT and other secretive developers have for SJC? What agreements, understandings or relationships does "Pete" have with BGK, ETM, FOUNTAINEBLEAU DEVELOPMENT and their commercial allies? We have a Right to Know. It's our County, our country, and our time.; 9:07 PM
Ed Slavin said...: Anyone considering hiring or appointing "Pete" would do well to consider his violent artwork, his threats of litigation or prosecution, an and to question his abuse. bigotry, sexism, misogyny, homophobia? Anger at "regulatory capture" and at anyone questioning our County government?; 9:15 PM
Ed Slavin said...: We're going to halt deforestation in SJC, which Henry Dean and others call "God's country." It's our planet. As the late Pope Francis wrote in his encyclical, "Laudator Is," corporations are turning our trial planet into a "piece of filth." RFK, Sr. said, "It is not enough to allow dissent. We must demand it, for there is much to dissent from.... We dissent from the willful, heedless destruction of natural beauty and pleasures." Perseverating patronizing "Pete" mocks our Roman Catholic Church. "Pete" insults Christians on his website. "Pete" insults and threatens reformers. "God is not mocked." (Galatians 6:7). "Why do the heathen rage?" (Psalm 2).; 9:22 PM
Pete said...: You're bonkers if you're not a straight man yet esteem a book that talks about homosexuality being worthy of punishment and says they should be stoned. Last time I checked they haven't taken that out of the book so whoever carries around such a book is a bigot.; 1:19 AM
Ed Slavin said...: When will perseverating "Pete" come out of the closet and identify himself or herself or itself?; 5:53 AM
Pete said...: Identify one's self to a libelous mob who asks that an attorneys rights be violated and his appointment overturned based on speculation? No thanks. I don't want to be punished for exercising First Amendment while some nutcase insists that suit for defamation is just that.; 7:32 AM
Ed Slavin said...: Poor pitiful "Pete." Evidently they don't teach the IRAC method at TRUMP UNIVERSITY.; 8:16 AM
