I salute reform St. Johns County Commissioners Krista Keating Joseph, Ann Taylor and Clay Murphy. We, the People are grateful that St. Johns County Commissioners will finally pass an improved tree protection ordinance. Second reading will be at our Board of County Commissioners meeting on August 5, 2025. Item 9. Come speak out and thank Commission Chair Krista Keating Joseph, Commissioner Ann Taylor and Commissioner and Vice Chair Clay Murphy.
Backup here: https://stjohnsclerk.com/.../080525BCC/08-05-25REG09.pdf Sophistry from the tree-killing lobbyists and their astroturf groups strains credulity -- it was a stench in the nostrils of our County, which still lacks a lobbying disclosure ordinance. At least twenty (20) other counties have lobbying disclosure ordinances. Such an ordinance was halted after the HUTSON developer family's unregistered lobbyist, PRISCILLA "RACHAEL" BENNETT attacked it, opposing proposed limitations on percentage contingency fees.
Dodgy Benedict Arnold developer corporations and their louche lobbyists rather remind me of the time in law school when another first year law student said something about deferring to "industry standards" on ethics. My brilliant Memphis State University Contracts professor, James G. Tigner, replied, "What if it's an immoral industry?"

Commissioner Bogus says leave the gasoline at home. Fire is cold because she said so.🔥😆
So called conservatives and those further right have been working over time for decades to do whatever they please at all levels of government, whether that be through negating whole branches of government through law, abdicating their duties to do checks and balances to other branches that aren't responsible, unconstitutional behavior, they pass the buck round and round and play games, shredding the Constitution as they go.
Just say NO to businesses, jobs, and money coming into St Johns County. Brilliant. I tell you these irrational people don't know their buttocks from their huff and puffer.
No, "Pete," you're so wrong. Animus, animadversions and amateur psychology. You sound like a man with a paper head. People fall in love with St. Johns County and St. Augustine for the history and nature. Not for the bad planning, ugly strip malls, traffic congestion, corruption, flummery, dupery and nincompoopery.
