October 30, 2023: Still waiting for list of redactions and requests for information on why it took fifty (50) days to provide twelve depositions. It's our money. Enough delay and desuetude.
October 10, 2023 Update: Finally received twelve (12) depositions. Asked County why it took so long. Asked County for Vaughn index to redactions. More later.
October 7, 2023 Update: Not one (1) of some twelve (12) depositions requested on August 21, 2023, some 47 days ago, have been received yet.
St. Johns County violates our Open Records law, every single day. Systemic sloth and torpor are a violation of our Florida Open Records law, which requires prompt production of our public records.
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr called St. Johns County the "most lawless" place in America.
Still true?
You tell me.

September 28, 2023 Update: Waiting to hear back from County Commissioner inquiring about County's delays, sloth and torpor on my request for twelve depositions in SJC v. CARR, RIGGS & INGRAM professional negligence case, involving longtime auditor's failure to detect Sheriff's Finance Officer RAYE BRUTNELL's embezzlement of $786,785 over five (5) years.
First our County Attorney's office lied and said case was still pending, after it was settled and dismissed.
Then our County attorneys delayed, long past the time that analysis of the depositions and lessons learned would have helped inform the debate on FY 2024 budget.
Now they want to charge me for two (2) hours time to find and produce the depositions.
The twelve depositions can be sent easily by PDF.
Stay tuned.
September 22, 2023 Update: County never answered a single question. County has not even provided the twelve (12) depositions in the County's civil lawsuit against malfeasant auditor, CARR RIGGS & INGRAM. In the immortal words of the late Wiliam F. Buckley, Jr., "why does baloney reject the grinder?"
Five (5) incurious St. Johns County Commissioners raised taxes by 10.3% above the rollback rate, without answering budget questions.
JESSE DUNN, Director of the St. Johns County Office of Management and Budget is an unjust steward of the public fisc.
County's lax internal controls require a public hearing and answers to my questions, under oath.
Now.
Enough insolence and insouciance from maladroit all-Republican St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners and their inept managers.
September 19, 2023 Update: County Administration has provided no answers and no documents.
Wonder why?
Here is my DRAFT written testimony to St. Johns County of County Commissioners FY 2024 TRIM hearing, set for 5:01 pm, Tuesday, September 5, 2023.
What do you reckon?
Ed Slavin
September 5, 2023 DRAFT
Murky business:
St. Johns County FY 2024 Budget --
Process remains deeply flawed
Please accept this written testimony, provide responsive answers under oath and in writing, and afford sufficient time for live cross-examination under oath during the second TRIM hearing.
A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives. — James Madison
“The life that is unexamined is not worth living.” — Socrates
“I don’t have to answer your questions. I work for the Board of County Commissioners.” — Hunter Sinclair Conrad, County Administrator (2019-2023), Clerk of Courts and Comptroller (2015-2019), “Clerk E” as unindicted coconspirator in 2019 federal bribery indictment in United States v. Penn Credit Corp.
“A budget is a moral document.” — Sandra Parks, Ed. D., former St. Augustine City Commissioner.
“Show me your budget, and I’ll tell you what your values are.” — President Jose Biden’s father, Joseph Robinette Biden, Sr., who told him when he was a little boy.
Rapid growth and one-party rule have created a crisis in our County government
The purpose of a TRIM hearing is to determine whether our County government is doing its job as it sets our property tax rate. We expect our government to be frugal. Don’t waste our tax dollars on “flubdubs,” as Lincoln would call them.
Stop using secrecy to hide bad decisions, like entrusting embezzler RAYE BRUTNELL as Sheriff’s Finance Director, stealing $785,785 over five years, with the first check written to her husband, an FDLE supervisor. Meanwhile the County, the Clerk of Court and Comptroller and its malfeasant auditors, were swathed in sloth and torpor. Wonder why? One-party rule and maladministration have created a crisis of confidence.
Since 2016, there has been a steady erosion of the information made available to citizens about our County budget. The budget document is now much shorter, presentations are shorter, time for public questions is curtailed, and information dumbed down to baby talk by the County. The basic budget document is now shorter than in prior years. It no longer includes accounting codes or detailed budget justifications. This obstructs citizens and Commissioners discussing budget amendments intelligently
Rapid growth, secrecy and one-party rule have created a crisis in St. Johns County
Lax internal controls, lack of respect for human rights, and disdain for public participation remind me of what Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said here in 1964, calling this “the most lawless place” in America.
We must reform our County government, starting with this flawed budget process.
SJC County Commission needs a Budget Committee and new leadership.
Several successive County Administrators were autocrats, freighted with animus toward women, Democrats and LGBTQ” people.
Enough.
It’s our government.
We deserve answers, not rudeness.

Item 66 is a real eye opening case of squandered internal control enforcement that most most entities can only dream of having so readily available.
At last commission meeting, the old man who said he moved from Washington State said it was a "communist state." That means limited private property and a command economy which is a lie. Who should listen to such nonsense buddy move back! You'll do better in the "communist state" than this hyper capitalist hell hole with zero plans to lower the prices of anything especially housing... and no pressure put on anyone to pay people to work. And with high taxes you get the worst of both worlds. Conservatism is a lie.
Yeah complained about communism, now complaining about high taxes and prices which he and others created by "fleeing communism." The commission pays lip service... but thinks to themselves, "It's a merit and ability based society... and if you don't have enough of either to afford things here then I guess you came to the wrong place!"
Republicans throw words like "communism" around to divert attention away from the fact that they mostly sit on their asses and don't do shit unless someone comes crying. They also do it to radicalize their base so they can hide behind an army of thugs and religious whackos while they grift everyone to a husk via their cronies. Think of the far right thugs as their security detail who protects their lazy ass.
