Why does St. Johns County invest our tax money in corporate bonds? In what corporate bonds has the Clerk of Courts and Comptroller invested our funds?
No records received in response to my October 20, 2021 request, filed after Clerk of Courts Brandon Patty, former Republican Executive Committee Chair, spoke to Board of County Commissioners, asking for a county policy on "woke" investments, seeking to stigmatize Unilever, which owns Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream.
Brandon Patty has not returned my telephone messages. An office employee said he referred my request to the St. Johns County Attorney.
But the Clerk of Courts is a constitutional officer, an independent elected official, who should not be hiding our documents or passing the buck.

1. Due to the still-unexplained fortnight of delay, I request that the Clerk kindly waive any fee, or ask Mr. Patty to pay for it. Please send documents by PDF today.
