Historic City News has been following the activities of the St Augustine City Commission since the investiture of Mayor Nancy Shaver on December 1, 2014. We are compiling data about each elected official on the commission; how they are voting, identifying patterns in their behavior, interactions with other members of the commission and staff.
We are also interested in each commissioner’s agenda. We are watching to determine who benefits by their votes. Are they trying to serve the residents of St Augustine, or an inside group of political friends?
We invite all readers to follow along with us as we publish the records that hold public officials accountable to the public. Exercise you civic responsibility, and keep us informed of your own findings.
