Citing a need for better transparency in government operations, both at the county and city level in St Augustine, resident and taxpayer advocate, Betty Jane (B.J.) Kalaidi told members of the St Johns County Commission this morning that, although the podium had been misused in recent weeks to promote the candidacy of one particular candidate for local office, she would refrain from the infraction.
A 20-year-old St Augustine resident, Leah Maria Boschetti, whose last known address was reported to Historic City News as 166 Laguna Court in Saint Augustine, was arrested by St Augustine Police on Friday afternoon when she was unable to pass a field sobriety test. Boschetti was taken into custody at the scene of a motor vehicle crash that occurred at the intersection of Pine and Water Streets.
