MATT ARMSTRONG's STRONGARM TACTICS -- Unscholarly UF Schoolmarm Tries to Silence Discussion About Lax Internal Controls at City of St. Augustine

Within one hour of my posting on a Facebook page, Historic St. Augustine, University of Florida Historic St. Augustine enforcer MATTHEW ARMSTRONG tried to silence me from discussing corruption in St. Augustine, Florida.   Wonder why?

MATTHEW ARMSTRONG (St. Augustine Social)

At UF ARMSTRONG's behest, this post was removed, a violation of federal civil rights laws by the UF Historic St. Augustine Governor's House Collection coordinator.

Why does MATTHEW ARMSTRONG try to silence discussion about historically corrupt St. Augustine Florida.

As a HARB member, ARMSTRONG routinely left at 5 pm to go to band practice. He quit because he valued his music more than his historic preservation voluntary government service.

As a HARB member, ARMSTRONG had delusions of adequacy.

As a HARB member, ARMSTRONG was part of the 2-1 majority allowing demolition of historic Carpenter's House, after two other HARB members were hired by DAVID BARTON CORNEAL. CORNEAL demolished Carpenter's House without even waiting for the time for appeal to expire, showing the extent of the corruption in St. Augustine.

MATTHEW ARMSTRONG is a salaried employee of the University of Florida.

His misguided attempt to chill, coerce and silence First Amendment protected activity may constitute state action under civil rights law and violate reasonable expectations of a government employee. UF President, please take note.

You tell me -- read the Facebook post, complete with supercilious MATT's accusatory post one hour after I wrote about the City of St. Augustine's lack of internal controls and need for an Inspector and Ombuds in light of the Audit Committee finding only 19 of 33 accounting errors were not caught by the City's longtime historic accounting firm of 30 years.   Would you trust MATTHEW ARMSTRONG with a public trust?

Here's the post, which linked to this blog post.

When will they ever learn? Thanks to City of St. Augustine, Florida Audit Committee Chair Todd David Neville, C.P.A., for asking questions and demanding answers about dozens of accounting errors in City books, only 19 of 33 of which were caught by the City's 30-year auditing firm, MASTERS, SMITH and WISBY.
Thanks to Mr. Neville for confronting the incompetent, e.g., certain bad-ole-boys, like TIMOTHY ALAN BURCHFIELD, C.P.A., unjust stewards and cognitive misers who have ill-served the City of St. Augustine for years. It's time for bumptious bigoted bully BURCHFIELD to go.

  Karen Packard Rhodes Well, unless you want to talk about the history of corruption in the city . . . going back as far as the early First Spanish Period.

    Edward Adelbert Slavin Menendez's contract is fascinating, set forth in appendix to Eugene Lyons' book. Another great book is by Judge John Noonan, appointed by President Reagan to the Ninth Circuit; Judge Noonan provides historic analysis going back 6000 years, to Mesopatamia. As…See More

    Edward Adelbert Slavin "Jesuit Fr. David Hollenbach, Pedro Arrupe distinguished research professor in the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, joined Kaveny in describing the jurist as a brilliant scholar who understood history and the historic development of Catholic thought on a number of moral and ethical issues."
    
    "Noonan was a prolific writer, authoring books on topics of concern to the church such as contraception, abortion and religious freedom, as well as legal subjects. Through his writing, he contended that Catholic tradition was dynamic and changed over time to reflect new understanding."
    
    "Hollenbach cited Noonan's writing about the church's acceptance of slavery and torture and the gradual shift away from supporting such practices."
    
    "'His range of knowledge of the historical tradition of Christian understanding of law is unparalleled. His works ranged from his book on contraception to his major work on religious freedom. He wrote an extraordinary work on bribery and the history and attitudes on bribery in the course of Western thinking on that,' Hollenbach said."
    
    "'One of the interesting comments he made was after writing this big book on bribery, something like 500 pages. The question he said he couldn't answer was the difference between a bribe and a political contribution,'" he added.
