England-Thimms & Miller "Agrihood" Proposal Heads to Special Magistrate Hearing (corrected) hearing on July 25, 2025 at 10 AM

Co-owner of ROBINSON IMPROVEMENT COMPANY, TRAVIS CARTER, with  Ponte Vedra lawyer ZACHARY WATSON MILLER, the son of ENGLAND-THIMMS & MILLER engineering firm co-founder DOUGLAS MILLER, (and unsuccessful applicant for Circuit Court Judgeship); and ETM Planner LINDSAY HAGA, AICP at  May 6, 2025 St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners BoCC meeting, item 7.  Video here: Item 7, at 4:40:00. https://stjohnscountyfl.new.swagit.com/videos/341758

Messrs. CARTER and MILLER and Ms. HAGA look just a bit angry.  SJC Commission rejected their proposal in 2024. On May 8, 2025, they were watching as our five elected St. Johns County Commissioners listen to witnesses (including me) discuss their thoughts on the upcoming F.S. 70.51 Special Magistrate Hearing.  The Special Magistrate hearing will held by the Honorable J. Michael Traynor, a retired Circuit Court Judge (and former Dominican Priest).  Date TBA.  

There will be a hearing (TBA) held before retired Circuit Court Judge J. Michael Traynor, sitting as Special Magistrate, pursuant Florida Statute 70.51 concerning the controversial proposed "Agrihood" proposal for some 3300 home Planned Unit Development for putative senior citizen housing, on top of possibly contaminated agricultural land, with history of some 100 year history or pesticides, fungicides, rodenticides and fertilizers.  

As I asked last year, would grandparents want. their grandbabies sticking their hands in that dirt?

 Stay tuned.

Agrihoods... Republican slave colonies? They will have cotton out there and maybe prisoners will work the land? Driving on a suspended license... you can work that off on the farm says Republican judge.

Some say the man in the middle frequently posts on the Blue Sky Social Network as Trump-hater "Atheist Pizza News," claiming to despise rich people, while in his real life, enriching himself with developer dollars. Atheist Pizza News is also known as "Pete" and "Leaduardino Fan" in comments on this blog where he aggressively supported local Attorney Richard Komando, while vilifying slow-growth proponents and commissioners with gory pictures exposing their brains... blood oozing from their eyes and mouths.

Wrong. This isn't about rich people... it's about Ed Slavin making claims and not providing actual proof and evidence when asked... and about many of you not accepting the results of an appointment that was made through democratic means. They voted on it, it's done, and you'll not tell me I'm pro developer because I've asked questions and pointed out nonsense.

Who is "Pete?"

Ed Slavin said...

Assuming facts not in evidence. Not "democratic" process when oligarchs pick ALAIMO's "friend," without interview or background check. Then bait and switch, with contract with BRADLEY, GARRISON & KOMANDO, P.A., owned by ex-Senator who chairs SJRWMD and House Speaker-designate. BRADLEY co-owns OAK STRATEGIES, which in 2025 was hired to lobby Tallahassee for casino and high rise developer. https://cleanupcityofstaugustine.blogspot.com/2025/04/fountainbleau-development-lobbyists-law.html

Oligarchs are ruining our County and running our government. Be not afraid to call them out. "Pete" has threatened me with libel lawsuit and arrest. He's a cat's paw for those who are ruining our County and running our government. Hundreds of gibberish posts from "Pete" who lacks the integrity to use his real name. Hateful imagery of four wonderful women -- two Commissioners and two citizen activists -- and of me show what kind of punks who claim the "process" is "democratic." Such sick twists. Pray for them.

Confucious said...

Pete you're only being called pro-developer because that's how you and your father earn a living.

Pete said...

So the people on the commission who appointed Komamdo are oligarchs? They don't look like it to me. Where is all the money that these people supposedly have that makes them oligarchs? When will you give actual proof and evidence for wrongdoing, corruption, or illegal activity? I seen you making a lot of assertions but never any hard evidence to back up your claims. It looks to me like you're simply framing narratives that aren't accurate.

Pete said...

Oligarchs have a lot of money. The commissioners don't look like oligarchs to me. Gonna need actual proof that they're oligarchs. You simply saying that they have a lot of money isn't enough. You're also claiming that things aren't democratic. Where is proof and evidence for election crimes? How is elected representatives voting on something not democratic?

Pete said...

No, people are accusing me of being certain things because I've questioned some of the logic and reasoning behind certain assertions and asked for proof and evidence for claims that have been made here. So instead of giving proof and evidence... simply try to end things with "he's just not on our side." The fallacy and irrationality is just neverending.

Hi, Mr. Slavin. Zach Miller here. The man next to me in the picture is Trav Carter not Doug Miller.

Ed Slavin said...

Who is Mr. Carter?

Ed Slavin said...

How many times has Zachary Miller posted on this blog?

Zach Miller again. Sorry I can’t figure out how to actually title the post under my name (every time I submit it won’t “publish”). Mr. Carter is one of the owners. I know you probably won’t believe this but I haven’t posted under any other name. I’m not “Pete” nor any other name. Nor did I create any memes, as some have claimed.

Ed Slavin said...

Thank you. Correction posted.

Confucious said...

Zach Miller, where did anyone claim you created memes? I only wrote above that some say you were the originator of certain pictures. Pictures aren't memes.
