Local paper endorses Mark Miner

Mark Miner
The St. Augustine Record published their endorsements in the St. Johns County Commission races today.

The editorial staff at The Record remarked, “Miner shows wisdom beyond his years, and a keen understanding of the county’s needs. He says the commission has to take the lead in attracting new businesses and in providing incentives for them to relocate here. He said they will bring new high-paying jobs and perhaps keep some of the 30 percent of residents who commute now, home. He says the county’s tax base, about 84 percent residential, 16 percent commercial is out of line.”
