Letter: Developers should not control concurrency

Randy Covington
St Johns, FL
Dear Editor:
Next Tuesday, the St Johns County Commission will take up a very significant change to county land development concurrency. The proposed change is highly detailed and very technical. It was developed by a committee, composed mostly of developer representatives, working over the last 14 months in what many feel is an attempt to quickly ram through a bailout for developers and transfer their obligations for road and school improvements to the tax-payers.

A search warrant was obtained and was executed at the decedent’s residence in the shooting death of Abbott Scott Bennett; the results of which were reported to Historic City News this morning by St Johns County Sheriff’s Media Relations Officer, Kevin Kelshaw.

Dawson Roebig has announced that on Saturday, April 12, there will be a positive and non-partisan gathering of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer community in the Plaza de la Constitution; seeking to raise awareness about various social and legal issues.
An order received by Historic City News, dated April 8th, confirmed that two St Johns County deputy sheriffs, Sergeant Brian Canova and Detective Thomas Marmo, failed to convince the US Court of Appeals, to overturn the judgment of the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida in a lawsuit brought against them by a St Johns County attorney and her client.
