Every St. Johns County Commissioner who voted for current unrealistically low impact fees is a Republican. Every County Commissioner who supported 15% sales tax increase on 2022 ballot was a Republican -- 63% of voters rejected it. Every Commissioner who robotically rubber-stamped deforestation and clear-cutting, 1998-2022, has been a Republican. Every Commissioner who refused to address discrimination, retaliation, fraud, waste and abuse issues is a Republican. Every Commissioner who acts as a cat's paw for developers is a Republican. Lessons learned: One-party machine rule contributes to the obnoxious opacity of our County government. I'm a Democrat, who has signed paperwork to run for County Commission, District 5. Let's preserve and protect St. Johns County. It is up to us.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
