Who is SUSAN SUMMERALL WILES?

Meet your arrogant new White House Chief of Staff.

What do you think about the proposed slot machine gambling referendum in St. Johns County -- slot machines aren't even legal here, so why on Earth would County Commission waste any time on it? Oh, because louche lobbyist SUSAN WILES is DONALD TRUMP's Florida campaign manager and Governor RiCHARD LYNN SCOTT's campaign manager? How utterly corrupt. Enough.



Typical Florida lobbyist for slot machines, manager of Governor RICHARD LYNN SCOTT's campaign, manager of DONALD TRUMP's campaign.
Throwing her weight around trying to get another slot machine referendum on the ballot, even though the Florida Supreme Court has not ruled that they are even legal in St. Johns County (and won't be issuing any more decisions until August 25, 2016).

Louche lackey of corrupt developers and gamblers, attacked opponents of wetland-destroying Ponte Vedra "Preserve" development without disclosing she was a lobbyist and SCOTT-TRUMP CAMPAIGN MANAGER, saying she was "angry" and "offended" at citizen's First Amendment protected activity.

What a lugubrious goober -- look forward to seeing her at July 19, 2016 County Commission meeting where she will argue in favor of referendum for slot machines, which are not legal here.

Letter: Unfair attacks on PVB Preserve
St. Augustine Record

Unfair attacks aimed at PVB Preserve
Editor: As a resident of the community closest to the planned Ponte Vedra Beach Preserve community, I am angered at the systematic misinformation campaign being waged by a few wealthy oceanfront residents who want to block the construction of this new neighborhood.
I am well-acquainted with the project developer, GreenPointe Communities and its owner Ed Burr, as I serve on philanthropic boards with him and know them to be quality developers of great communities in North Florida. I am fully informed about his plans for Ponte Vedra Beach Preserve.
St. Johns County staff at all levels — in fact, every regulatory agency that has reviewed the plans — has recommended approval and the neighborhood will be developed in an environmentally sensitive manner resulting in a high quality, single-family community with homes that are compatible and complementary to the surrounding area.
It offends me, as a longtime Ponte Vedra resident, that misinformation has been perpetuated over the past weeks and months, and this misinformation has been represented as the truth. It is not the truth, and it may well have been designed to mislead. I fear that many of my neighbors have been duped.
On Dec. 1, St. Johns County Commissioners will consider an appeal to the variance for this property. I encourage our elected officials to learn the facts, review the process and approve this variance with no further delay.
