"GET A LIFE," MAC McLEOD Ululates, as Secretive Sheriff SHOAR hides detailed line item budget and budget justification

Here's the e-mail I sent Friday -- the only response is from JEREMY BANKS' lawyer, ROBERT LESTER McCLOUD, II, who wrote everyone that I should "GET A LIFE."

Dear Messrs. Dunn, Wanchick, McCormack, Johns, Dean, Waldron, Morris and Smith:
1. Please instruct St. Johns County Sheriff DAVID SHOAR to provide to you -- as our County Budget Director, our elected County Commissioners, County Attorney and County Administrator -- and to me today detailed proposed line item FY 2018 budget and comparison detailed line item budgets for prior years.  Today, please. 
2. Sheriff Shoar's proposed FY 2018 "budget" (Item 1 in the agenda packet for the June 20, 2017) is woefully incomplete, utterly uninformative, lacking in the level of detail that the County Budget hearings provided over 2.5 days in May.  Sheriff Shoar has insulted your intelligence with a very poor excuse for a "budget."  http://www.sjccoc.us/minrec/agendas/2017/062017cd/06-20-17REG01.pdf
3. Sheriff Shoar has not provided a detailed budget or justification or line items. His "budget" must not be approved "as is."  "Business as usual" is no longer acceptable in St. Johns County.  The whole world is watching what we do here.
4. Sandra Parks says "a budget is a moral document."  Where is the morality in this immoral Sheriff's alleged "budget?" http://www.sjccoc.us/minrec/agendas/2017/062017cd/06-20-17REG01.pdf
5. Sheriff Shoar's putative "budget" lacks any detail about accountability, e.g., police body cameras, with no provision in either County or Sheriff budgets for either an Ombuds or Inspector General.  Why?
5. In the wake of court orders and settlements remedying Sheriff Shoar's constitutional rights violations, and the Sheriff's continuing coverups of the Michelle O'Connell and Andrea Sheldon homicides, I am uncomfortable with this "budget."  http://www.sjccoc.us/minrec/agendas/2017/062017cd/06-20-17REG01.pdf
6. Please obtain from SJSO a truly detailed proposed line item budget, detailed budget justifications, and prior year comparators. Now.
7. Then lets set a real public budget hearing where the public can ask detailed questions and obtain answers, as several of us did about the County budget during 2016 and 2017, with 2.5 days of budget hearings before the County Administrator.  Don't limit us to three (3) minutes, as at regular BCC meetings. Otherwise, aren't you all guilty of aiding and abetting, and showing Sheriff Shoar blatant favoritism?  Be not afraid.  
8. Who among us could disagree with this reasonable request for a detailed line item budget, justifications and prior year comparisons?  
9. It's our money.  Enough malarkey from Sheriff Shoar, who fancies himself the political boss of St. Johns County and retaliates against people who question his actions.
10. Please call me today to discuss how we can work together to eliminate waste, fraud, abuse, misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, flummery, dupery, nincompoopery and lawbreaking by St. Johns County Sheriff David Shoar.
Thank you.
With kindest regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Ed Slavin
