Thursday, February 27, 2025 SJC County Attorney Hiring Committee Meeting, 9 am, 500 Sebastian View, County Auditorium

Thanks to our SJC Commissioners for holding an open public meeting on attorney hiring. The ancien regime preferred such meetings be held in an upstairs County conference room, without TV coverage. You can attend the February 27, 2025 SJC County Attorney Hiring Committee Meeting, 9 am, 500 Sebastian View, County Auditorium,

UPDATE:  This meeting is not being video recorded. It is not being broadcast on SJC Government TV. Neither was an earlier committee recorded or broadcast.  That is so wrong. 

Wonder why?

SJC Government TV PR employee Kyle Logan was cold and condescending, refusing to answer who decided and why.

We have a $1,000,000+ tv broadcast operation. We have eight (8) FTE (full-time equivalent) employees in PR in St. Johns County 

The meeting is in our County Auditorium.  The two Commissioners on the Committee assumed, as did I, that the meeting would  be videotaped and broadcast, it is neither being broadcast nor videotaped.  When not?

We the People expect better from our leaders.

Ms. Desiree Woroner started working as HR Director and Risk Management Director for St. Johns County December 2, 2024, according to a recruiter website, https://www.cb-asso.com/Newsmanager/ar321.aspx?Id=28

December 17, 2024 Commission video here, with County Administrator Joy Andrews, Ms. DESIREE WORONER and Ed Slavin (that would be me), here: https://stjohnscountyfl.new.swagit.com/videos/322850 (item 9).

What was our new HR Director's role in having this secretive meeting, with no video broadcast and no taping?  Do Ms. Woroner's reflect our values?  Why did County Administrator JOY ANDREWS present Ms. WORONER for confirmation vote after she went to work for St. Johns County.

County Administrator Joy Andrews claims to believe in "transparency and efficiency."

Believe it or not!

Applications, CV letters, transcripts... doesn't really matter because they'll hire someone they like or have a good relationship with. Ed Slavin criteria is they hire someone they have no relationship with and never heard of. Kinda like getting a job at Burger King.

Ed Slavin said...

What's you interest and background?

Pete said...

My interest is proof and evidence when I ask for it... and my background is I'll not give ammunition for ad hominem fallacy in place of proof and evidence for your claims.

Ed Slavin said...

Poor Pete. Whining. Affecting martyrdom. Repetitive. Illogical. RICHARD CHRISTIAN KOMANDO's de facto defense lawyer. 100+ posts. What's your interest?

Ed Slavin said...

"Pete"has a rather interesting conversational style. Pejoratives, contempt, self-indulgent with emotions. One of the "Anonymice," as Pulitzer Prize winning NYTimes columnist Maureen Dowd would call them. Contributes nothing, answers nothing, hurls pejoratives. Pray for "Pete" to try tolerance.

Ed Slavin said...

Pointless "Pete," sounds like he does not believe in meritocracy. He is a mocker.

Pete said...

👆Ad hominem in the absence of proof and evidence. Days later, still waiting...

Pete said...

Yes this whole blog is you whining for years on end... and that's not proof or evidence for a multitude of claims you've made.

Pete said...

Yes you get emotional when people ask for actual proof and evidence for your claims. Getting subject and object confused again?

Ed Slavin said...

Yawn.

Pete said...

No completely fell asleep waiting for actual proof and evidence for some of your claims. "Because I think so" isn't..

Ed Slavin said...

Sounds just a bit paranoid, "Pete." Insulting me and not identifying yourself? Ungracious and uncouth. Is "Pete" a lawyer friend of KOMANDO? Over 100 posts by "Pete," who never posted about any other subject before.

Ed Slavin said...

"Pete" is so repetitive. Why is he obsessed with KOMANDO? Sounds like he's acting as KOMANDO's de facto amanuensis or defense lawyer. Won't identify himself. Pathological? See DSM-V.

Ed Slavin said...

"Pete" sounds overbearing, like a silver spooner accustomed to bullying people and getting his way. Is "Pete" a developer mouthpiece? A developer?

Ed Slavin said...

"Pete" says I have been "whining for years on end." Inarticulate. Low-qualify perseverating. As Adlai Stevenson said, "I believe in the forgiveness of sins, and the redemption of ignorance." Proud to have published this blog, resulting in a culture change in our cities and County. What has "Pete" ever done for his fellow Americans? What has he ever achieved for truth and justice, or American history? I think it is "Pete" who is whining.

Pete said...

Still waiting for actual proof and evidence for a multitude, plethora, numerous claims made without actual evidence. It's been days...

Ed Slavin said...

Poor "Pete" perseverates with repetitious prevarications. Would anyone hire "Pete?" Why does "Pete" keep writing to aid the Interim County Attorney? What is "Pete"'s interest in RICHARD CHRISTIAN KOMANDO? What relationships does "Pete" have with the money changers in the temple of democracy? What funds has "Pete" received from developers?

Ed Slavin said...

How would "Pete" describe "Pete"s ersonality?

Ed Slavin said...

Anyone pondering Pete's odd, animus-ridden statements about the "years" of this blog? Extremist prevaricator developer-loving Anonymice. Does not have the courage to sign his real name. I sign my name. Privileged "Pete" bays at the moon. Pray for "Pete" to try tolerance and answer questions for a change. First, who is "Pete"

Pete said...

Will you be giving proof and evidence for the bogus claims in the meeting or will you just insist in the absence of actual proof and evidence? If I show up, do you expect ME to give proof and evidence for YOUR claims?

Ed Slavin said...

Answer the question, "Pete." Who are you?
