Update: ANN TAYLOR never did answer my questions. In an e-mail, snooty, unqualified ANN TAYLOR refused to grant me an interview until after her closed August 20, 2024 Republican Primary. Too clever by half. Former ASU marketing major ANN TAYLOR's angry advertising maven, NICOLE CRANBERG CROSBY, has attacked Commissioner Isaac Henry Dean for supporting Gay Pride. ANN TAYLOR remained silent. She continues staring at me with during meetings, suggesting animus or emotional problems with being criticized. In public comment at the August 6, 2024 SJC BoCC meeting, I called out ANN TAYLOR's angry adviser, retired DDB advertising copywriter NICOLE CROSBY, for her PAC's anti-Gay attack on Commissioner Isaac Henry Dean for supporting Gay Pride. (No response other than CROSBY's cross statement to me that I had just "destroyed" St. Johns County. Then cross CROSBY screeched at me, "Stay away from me!" Glad that SJSO was there to witness their witless anger. Pray for them, my friends.

President John F. Kennedy's United Nations Ambassador, Adlai E. Stevenson said it best, "As scarce as truth is, the supply seems greater than. the demand."
1. Thomas Jefferson said, "I have sworn eternal hostility aginst every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
2. One current St. Johns County Commission Seat 5 candidate in the closed, gerrymandered August 20, 20204 Republican Primary candidate telegraphed her vote on matters requiring quasi-judicial hearings under Florida and federal law.
3. Arizona State U. marketing major and former pharmaceutical drummer ANN TAYLOR wrote on her campaign website, "When elected, I will vote with Commissioner Joseph, who endorses me, to slow down the growth of St. Johns County. "
4. County Commission seat 5 candidate ANN TAYLOR did not state that she would decide zoning cases based solely upon the law and the facts, as honorable public officials generally do everywhere. The intent of her words is irrerfragable, and a cause for concern.
5. Instead, County Commission seat 5 candidate ANN TAYLOR actually stated "I will vote with Commissioner Joseph ... to slow down the growth of St. Johns County." This unforced error suggests that ANN TAYLOR lacks self-respect, or may lack respect for our American constitutional history and traditions.
6. The great British Parliamentarian Edmund Burke, wrote in his November 3, 1774 Speech to the Electors of Bristol, "Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it ....."
7. SJC Commission candidate ANN TAYLOR's website shows poor judgment by delegating her own votes to another person. With its unadorned statement of fealty to current Commissioner Joseph's views, ANN TAYLOR suggests that she is shallow and callow and not fit to serve the people of St. John County. ANN TAYLOR would substitute Commissioner Joseph's judgment for her own, voting in lockstep.
8. Is SJC Commission Seat 5 candidate ANN TAYLOR committed in writing by her own admissions, in haec verba, to be a member of what our Founders called a "faction," contrary to their great wisdom, expressed in The Federalist Papers.
9. How would SJC Commission Seat 5 candidate ANN TAYLOR's public pledge of allegiance to adhere to Commissioner Joseph's opinions apply to some of our great moral issues of our time, like affordable housing, Fair Housing compliance, and proposed creation of a Public Housing Authority?
10. The Florida Judicial College guide to recusal and disqualification states:
Public statements on issues
Hayes v. State, 686 So. 2d 694 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996). Judge disqualified for publicly
announcing how he would sentence similarly-situated defendants regardless of
evidence or argument. See also Martin v. State, 804 So. 2d 360 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001)."
11. In Florida, "Every motion for disqualification asks the same fundamental question: whether the
litigant has reasonable cause to believe that he will be treated unfairly by the court.
“The question of disqualification focuses on those matters from which a litigant may
reasonably question a judge’s impartiality rather than the judge’s perception of his
ability to act fairly and impartially.” Livingston v. State, 441 So. 2d 1083, 1086 (Fla. 1983).

12. A "fair trial [and appeal] in a fair tribunal is a basic requirement of Due Process." In re Murchison, 349 U.S. 133, 136 (1955); Aetna Life Insurance Co. v. Lavoie, 475 U.S. 813 (1986). This Due Process requirement could be violated if ANN TAYLOR were elected and then voted on development proposals, as promised, in lockstep with Commissioner Joseph.
13. If ANN TAYLOR were ever elected, could citizens reasonably anticipate she would keep her written promise?
14. If ANN TAYLOR ever kept her promises and ever voted contrary to the law and evidence, would SJC zoning and planning applicants then routinely file motions to recuse or disqualify her for her prejudging zoning matters on a massive, countywide scale? See also Withrow v. Larkin, 421 U.S. 35, 46 (1975); Gibson v. Berryhill, 411 U.S. 564 (1973); American Cyanamid v. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), 363 F.2d 757, 764-67 (6th Cir. 1966); Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510 (1927); Ward v. City of Monroeville, 409 U.S. 57 (1972). See also Hornsby v. Dobard, 291 F.2d 483, 487 (5th Cir. 1961); Berkshire Employees Assn. v.

Washington Twp., 61 N.J. Super. 312, 160 A.2d 635 (1960), aff'd in part and rev'd in part, 35 N.J. 224, 172 A.2d 657 (1961); Jones v. MacDonald, 33 N.J. 132, 162 A.2d 817 (1960); Bracey v. City of Long Beach, 73 N.J. Super. 91, 179 A.2d 63 (1962).
15. What advice has ANN TAYLOR obtained, and from whom, on her policy views? What are her views? We do not know. We have a Right to Know.
16. I have requested an interview with ANN TAYLOR and she refused, until after the election.

They're all conservative nitwits. Who cares. Some other Republican comes along with a fist full of money... they'll move mountains for them. Doesn't even matter if they get any of that money. Big money and big dong make conservative monkey climb a tree.
These people won't build modern, affordable housing here not only because they want class structure to remain the same and allow the upper classes an advantage, but so that the local yokels can exploit working people for as much money as possible. That's what the economy here is all about. Tourist money, low wage worker exploitation, and housing market grift. There really is not much else. So high rent feeds people already have a descent amount of money and allows them more luxury at the expense of working people. That and you've got a lot of people making money off the Levittowns they're building. Still all this isn't helping the working people all that much. Unless people work for themselves here.. it's hard to see how many survive high prices and Republicans simply blaming everyone else.
Republicans in 2018: "Hahaha look at New York and California high prices and all the people leaving for Florida
Republicans 2024: "High prices in Florida just come with the territory of success. Hopefully these people spend their money, vote Republican, then leave. Rinse and repeat for the rest of American history."
The real puppet master is Nicole Crosby. Why is this republican candidate so easily controlled by a democrat? She spews Crosby's messaging at every opportunity. I have seen her speak multiple times, and she repeats same curated message verbatim. She is not an independent thinker. The same could be said about both Anns.
I only had to read the first sentence to know that Ed wrote this.
