St. Johns County taxpayers blew $4.5 million on a mosquito museum with 41% cost overruns. Our badly mismanaged money-wasting Anastasia Mosquito Control District of St. Johns County resists our earnest efforts to hire an independent auditor, one selected through transparent honest procedures. Enough already. Please join me. Come speak out at the June 12, 2025 4 PM meeting at 120 EOC Drive. It's our money! More here:
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!

Dear AMCD Director Dr. Xue, Dr. Qualls, Ms. Hodges, Messrs. Bean, Russell and Forte, AMCD Chair Becker, and AMCD Commissioners Mazzotta, Gardner, LeBlanc and Burton:
1. Would you please be so kind as to send me on the morning of June 6, 2025 the documents evidencing Ms. Hodges and other Smith, Gambrell and Russell LP lawyers' advice to AMCD on Auditor Selection Committee?
2. Please provide any and all documents in which our current AMCD Attorney, Ms. Lawsikia Hodges and the law firm of Gambrell, Smith & Russell, LP ever advised and/or approved Dr. Xue's contestation that the AMCD Board can ignore the legally binding Independent Auditor Selection Committee and process that was voted on and unanimously approved by the AMCD Board in February.
3. Regardless of the shallow opinion that you received from the Auditor General's office, that opinion was given in the absence of providing the Auditor General critical knowledge formation, such as the existing resolution and process that had already been reviewed and approved not only by the Board but also by the attorneys for the District.
4. Please provide this information to me on June 6, 2025, as all decisions made to date are illegal and ultra vires.
5. Please place the June 2, 2025 meeting video on AMCD's YouTube channel, instanter, and kindly share it with Ms. Hodges, the law firm of Gambrell, Smith & Russell, P.A., with the Auditor General and with Ms. Patricia R. Gleason, Florida Attorney General's Special Counsel for Open Government.
6. Please place all responsive documents in the agenda packet for the June 12, 2025 meetings of the Anastasia Mosquito Control District of St. Johns County.
Thank you.
With kindest regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Ed Slavin
