Republican County Chairman WILLIAM KORACH is OUSTED; JERRY CAMERON named ACTING Chair; BILL McCLURE RUNNING, New Election July 2, 2018

Controversial St. Johns County Republican Chair WILLIAM KORACH was reportedly ousted after complaints, "filings and a hearing in Tallahassee," after which the Republican Party of Florida vacated KORACH's seat and designated JERRY CAMERON the Acting Chair.  

So big-spending KORACH is OUT.  Second Vice Chair DIANE SCHERRF has resigned.   No comment from RPOF in response to e-mail and telephone messages.

JERRY CAMERON is Acting Chair and might be elected chair on July 2, 2018.

Was this what CAMERON was talking about with Sheriff DAVID SHOAR on June 5th outside the St. Johns County Commission Taj Mahal meetings?

As Lincoln would say, "Why is this thus, and what is the reason for this thusness?'

The thick plottens. 

Meetings have been cancelled.

Has money been peculated?

Was sexual harassment at issue?

And whatever happened to the proceeds from a 2017 fundraiser, which was attended by three-time Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter Walt Bogdanich of The New York Times and a photographer?

Congratulations to local activists, including Thomas F. Reynolds, Jr., Dr. Michel S. Pawlowski, D.Sci., for rightly raising concerns about fraud and abuse at SJC REC, including candidate endorsements, financial flummery and other rule-breaking. 

The SJC REC is a shambles. 

Eight candidates, ranging from the dodgy to the criminaloid, vie for the post, including xxxx.

"Every little movement has a meaning all its own" in SJCREC, our provincial local hick hack Hezbollah, the Party of God and Commerce, where oleaginous longtime SJC Chair WILLIAM KORACH allegedly spewed bigotry and spilled his drinks. 

Radical SJC Republicans cheered when a outside speaker called President Barack Obama an "animal."  It happened in 2016. 

CARLOS BERUFF (then-Senate candidate and later Gov. RICK SCOTT''s hand-picked Constitution Revision Commission Chair), spoke at SJCREC. Twice BERUFF called President Obama an "animal." 

CARLOS BERUFF's hatred was countenanced by several local Republican elected officials.  

It was widely reported statewide and beyond (but only belatedly reported by STUART KORFHAGE of the St. Augustine Record, who demurely reported the speech was before an unidified "Republican group."

Here's conman JERRY CAMERON's letter to all those "confused" SJC Republicans:

Members of the REC, There has been much confusion in the past 60 days and some changes in the makeup of our Executive Board. Those who attended the March 26thmeeting at the Reef Restaurant will recall my election to 1stVice Chair. Several members of the REC Executive Board, who were not present at that meeting, contested that election. After a series of filings and a hearing in Tallahassee, the Republican Party (RPOF) of Florida validated my election and vacated the seat of Chairman.  Our 2ndVice resigned her position. Subsequently, I received correspondence from the RPOF informing me that I was now acting Chair, and instructing me to hold an election for the vacant seats. They expressed concerns, which I echo, that the mid-terms were fast approaching and we needed to fill our vacancies as soon as possible in order to work on turning out the Republican vote. I will be happy to fill in details and answer questions at our upcoming meeting. I am scheduling a General Membership Meeting for July 2, 2018 at the Northeast Florida Regional Airport, 4730 Casa Cola Way, Saint Augustine, FL. Sign-In and Social will begin at 6:30 pm, and the meeting will convene at 7:00 pm. There will be an election for the positions of Chair and 2ndVice Chair.This letter serves as the required minimum of a ten day notice of the election. I will be sending out names of members who have expressed an interest in running for the vacant positions. If anyone has an interest, please let me know before June 20thin order to have your name sent out to the membership. I urge every member to attend this meeting and help get our REC back on track. The mid-terms are critical. Our Party and our President needs us now more than ever. Let’s put all of our energy towards continuing the proven path of success we’ve been on since the election of Donald Trump. I look forward to seeing you on the 2nd. Please feel free to call me if you have questions or suggestions.

Sincerely, Jerry Cameron 1stVice Chair (Acting Chair) 735 Segovia Rd., St. Augustine, FL 32086 (904) 814-6796
