FOLIO WEEKLY ON CALLING SHERIFF ON DISSENTERS (see more below)

From August 14, 2007 FOLIO WEEKLY (Jacksonville, Florida):
"Brickbats to Barbara Bosanko, chair of the Anastasia Mosquito Control District of St. Johns County, for playing the heavy in recent instances of citizen dissent. Bosanko recently called in a Sheriff's deputy to silence frequent board critic and local gadfly Ed Slavin after he spoke up in defense of another man, whom Bosanko was gaveling to silence."

The "other man" was Don Girvan, a former Army Captain who was criticizing AMCD's purchase of a $1.8 million Bell Jet Ranger helicopter without competitive bidding. Girvan, former Democratic County Commission candidate Roger Van Ghent and a Citibank Vice President joined others in dissenting from the illegal helicopter purchase. It's time for AMCD to cancel the illegal helicopter deal. As my mother would say, "drop the oyster and leave the wharf." See much more, below, including photos of the videotaped Sunshine violation by AMCD Chair BARBARA BOSANKO, VIce Chair LINDA WAMPLER, and erstwhile AMCD counsel AUDRIE M. HARRISS OF the law firm of DORAN, WOLFE, ANSAY & KUNDID, who lied to State's Attorney John Tanner about the videotaped violation. Will BOSANKO & WAMPLER resign? Apologize? Repent? Are Grand Jury indictments immiment, as in Jacksonville's City Council case, for Sunshine violations? Watch this blog.
