Mosquito Control Scientific Independence Protected (Again)

Mosquito Control Scientific Independence Protected (Again)
St. Johns County's five feudal rebarbative reprobate Republican County Commissioners and their sneaky "Golden Parachute Boy," MICHAEL DAVID WANCHICK, lost huge on Election night. Mosquito Control Commission Chair Catherine Brandhorst and former Chair Jeanne Moeller won re-election to four-year terms.
Brandhorst became a Republican to win re-election; Moeller remains a proud active Democrat.
Mosquito Control will remain independent and non-partisan.
No County Taj Mahal mandated flummery, dupery, nincompoopery, waste, fraud, abuse, misfeasance, malfeasance and nonfeasance, please.
Voters easily defeated two forgettable machine candidates, wolves in sheep's clothing, two-time loser EDWARD GEORGE (former St. Augustine Beach Mayor) and CORY "DUKE" MARA (fired ex-county employee, campaigning on the basis of his religion, party affiliation and Flagler College diploma).
At a League of Women Voters debate on October 15, the pair airily prattled about cooperating more with the county.
In light of painful recent history, that's like a Holocaust victim saying, "Don't make trouble."
That dawg won't hunt.
Mosquito Control must and will remain an independent scientific and technical organization, free of bossism. That bossism led to approval of a $1.8 million no-bid luxury Bell Jet helicopter under former Chair BARBARA BOSANKO, spouse of corrupt County Attorney DANIEL BOSANKO. We defeated the helicopter, thanks to Ms. Moeller and former Commissioner John Sundeman, winning a refund. The helicopter was pushed by corrupt St. Johns County Sheriff DAVID BERNARD SHOAR, who later admitted spending hundreds of hours of staff time on the helicopter selection con-job, made possible by attorney GEOFFREY DOBSON, who falsely called the purchase sole-source.
