Comments from Shoar and other representatives

Sheriff's press conference
I was present representing Historic City Media at the press conference called by the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office today to review the known results from the “Operation: D-Day” actions yesterday; around the state and here at home.

St. Johns County Sheriff David B. Shoar spoke to us about the importance of the efforts undertaken in completing this mission which shaped up over the past four months. Shoar told me, “This is part of an ongoing process of identifying and interrupting marijuana distribution in our community.”

No referendum on Airport Authority in November

Board of Commissioner
Defiant to the end and obviously irritated that he was not going to have the support he needed to push for a referendum to abolish the St. Augustine Airport Authority, County Commission Chairman Thomas Manuel made a final, threatening challenge to the airport’s Executive Director, Edward Wuellner … get off the tax rolls by October 1, 2009 or face “very aggressive” efforts to abolish the Airport Authority.
