NANCY KLEIN is quoted in today's St. Augustine Record as saying that she "can;t' (sic) even file (with the St. Johns County Supervisor of Elections) until the seat becomes (sic) open." Not true. People can run for any seat, even if it has an incumbent. Klein WON"T run until she knows if Mayor JOSEPH LEROY BOLES, JR. will run for Mayor, thereby resigning from his Commission seat.
NANCY KLEIN told me recently that the City's illegal dumping was a "mistake."
No, it's not.
It's an environmental crime, a tort and a stench in the nostrils of the Nation. NANCY KLEIN's answer flunks the laugh test (and the smell test). If elected, will KLEIN be a lickspittle for the City Hall machine? It is one that she has allegedly assiduously served, managing and writing speeches for the last two Mayors (GEORGE GARDNER and JOSEPH LEROY GOLES, JR.), two of the most unkind, uncouth public officials ever to grease a chair with silk suits and smirking looks. Pretend reformers who would up thralls for controversial City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS now seek to replace themselves with the likes of KLEIN. Voters deserve a choice between Tweedledes and Tweedoedums including KLEIN, who works for land planner KAREN TAYLOR.
KLEIN would be no more independent of the current political machine than a lapdog. Meanwhile, the Record article (below) also reports that GEORGE GARDNER will retire.
That's not news. He promised he would not run again when he was last elected in 2006.
What IS news is that GARDNER is planning to keep that promise -- at least he kept one.
Now don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out. Say "Goodnight, GEORGE GARDNER."
