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!

Requested interview re: corporate law firm hired to serve as St. Johns County Attorney: No response
As the late, great wit, conservative writer, sailor, Firing Line host and former NYC Mayor candidate, WILLIAM B. BUCKLEY, JR. once said, "Why does baloney reject the grinder?" No response to my request for an interview with two (2) Republican politician partners in a corporate law firm selected to perform the function of SJC County Attorney (3-2 vote), effective on April 15, 2025. Earlier this month, I wrote to two (2) name BRADLEY, GARRISON and KOMANDO, P.A partners (Florida House Speaker-elect SAMUEL PAUL GARRISON and former State Senator ROBERT MILNER BRADLEY, Jr.) Ex-Sen. BRADLEY and Florida House Speaker-elect Rep. GARRISON are two (2) of the three (3) named partners in the BGK law firm. Former Senator BRADLEY is also Chair of the St. Johns River Water Management District. Ex-Senator BRADLEY has a lobbying firm, OAK STRATEGIES, whose client list includes casino gambling interests, to wit, FOUNTAINEBLEAU DEVELOPMENT. Speaking through BGK partner RICHARD CHRISTIAN KOMANDO, the BGK firm refused to provide Commissioner Ann Taylor with its client list, 2024-2025, while serving as Interim County Attorney. Thanks to Florida Times-Union reporting, we know that the BGK law firm's corporate clients include the SLAUGHTER BROTHERS, two roofers who were sentenced to federal prison for income tax fraud and workers compensation fraud. KOMANDO represented these two corporate criminals while serving as our County Attorney.

Hopefully this PRIVATE lawfirm rejects your interview because it's obvious you intend to use anything said during that interview to manufacture a bogus narrative. And it's obvious that the meeting will not be in good faith.. will be spun in libelous fashion.
Is "Pete" purporting to advise a government contractor corporate law firm in how to respond to a journalist's request for an interview? How overbearing. Interesting.
Well you see that's actually the beauty of it. It's a private entity so they don't have to interact with people who wish to craft absurd politically biased narratives. You can get your questions answered by those who appointed him since you've already defamed them. They have no obligation to speak to you.
The "private" entity is actually government contractor. Our County Attorney's office has been privatized. 3-2 vote.
They hired someone from a private entity to do work for them. You don't like that because you can't make endless demands from such an individual... information which you'll then use to more thoroughly craft some inaccurate narrative that doesn't reflect reality.
Why does Pete care so much about Attorney Komando and his firm? Business relationship? Personal relationship? Repaying favors? Paving the way for development approvals and benefits to developers? All of the above? Pete's passion and fury are driven by something big.
Perseverating "Pete" needs a checkup from the neck up, as the late courageous EPA Inspector General Senior Special Agent Robert E. Tyndall (Ret.) would say. What has "Pete' ever done for a single living soul in SJC? Devious dybbuk.
Yeah this was just another thread that you stopped posting my comments on. I responded to anonymous and you didn't post it. Just left their bogus conspiracy theories lingering...
Was their martyrdom involved?
I won't post false, homophobic, racist or ad hominem comments. What rough beast posting under a phony name contends that I did not post his comment? What was the comment? As the Matt Damon character asked Henry Drummond, the corporate lawyer character in the movie, "The Rainmaker," Does "Pete" even remember when he first sold out?" "Pete" sounds like a looney-toon louche loser, a corporate troll, dedicated to the proposition of pestilential pestiferous perseverating in pursuit of mediocrity. God forgive "Pete." Pray for "Pete." Who is "Pete?" And as JFK would ask, "ask me if I care?"
You won't post ad hominem from others...yet we see you posting your own ad hominem attacks, name calling, conspiracy theories etc.
Will "Pete" apply for a judgeship?
His posts are relevant evidence if he does.
