As we continue to focus on why St Augustine’s un-accredited police force is refusing to release the name of the driver who jumped a sidewalk, crossed Cordova Street against traffic, and crashed twice into a hundred-year-old perimeter wall at Flagler College, news in to the Historic City News office that Florida’s governor understands records of local police dispatchers are absolutely open to public disclosure.

As the City has become a much more popular tourist destination, the added frequency and combinations of noise sources has placed an overwhelming burden on residents – more and louder live music at bars and restaurants, more trolley loud speakers, more noisy early morning truck deliveries, street sweeping, etc., more canon firings (onshore and off) and more small arms fire, more loud music and amplified speaking events at Francis Field, an un-muffled bi-plane flying overhead, more improperly muffled cars and motorcycles, etc. It’s too much.
