For a good time, go to the St. Johns County Election Supervisor website and read who has conributed more than $53,000 to the campaign of St. Johns County Commission Chairman JOHN JAY H. MORRIS.
They include some of the usual suspects, including ROGER O'STEEN and the DAVIS family -- developers.
In fact, the very first listed contributor is controversial Sheriff DAVID BERNARD SHOAR, the developers' tool.
How revealing.
Sheriff DAVID BERNARD SHOAR is also listed as a "fundraiser" for MORRIS (it's in the expenditures category, where MORRISS lists a lunch for his fundraisers, the very first of which is DAVID BERNARD SHOAR, f/k/a "DAVID BERNARD HOAR."
How revealing.
SHERIFF SHOAR is MORRIS' very first contributor.
And a fundraiser, the first fundraiser listed.
SHOAR and MORRIS are pals.
This has consequences for public polcy.
Don't look for St. Johns County Commission Chairman JOHN JAY H. MORRIS to investigate SHOAR or get tough on SHOAR's budget.
Don't look for MORRISS to examine SHOAR in public about the Michele O'Connell case, or to give a hoot about victims of officer involved domestic violence.
County Commission Chairman JOHN JAY H. MORRIS is betting SHERIFF SHOAR will raise enough money to re-elect him.
In the immortal words of Jesse Unruh, "Money is the mother's milk of politics."
Our estimable St. Johns County Commission Chairman JOHN JAY H. MORRIS is suckling from SHERIFF DAVID BERNARD SHOAR's and developers' teats.
Someone with gumption and guts needs to run against JOHN JAY H. MORRIS, and raise money from small contributors.
Someone decent, who will treat the public and our environment with respect (and not prattle on about his or her "business experience" at the drop of a hat, sounding like a vapid varmint in love with the sound of his one voice).
Will someone kindly run against JOHN JAY J. MORRIS, and act like our lives depended on it?
