Historic City News was informed that on Wednesday, July 30th, the Board of Directors of the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce voted unanimously to oppose the county charter as proposed on the August 26 primary ballot.
This decision was based on three arguments: that the charter does not address the county commission’s ability to levy a utility tax; that the charter can potentially impose an uncertain financial burden on tax payers through its implementation; and that the charter and its amendments uses misleading language and structure on the ballot.

St. Johns Sheriff’s Office and Fire Rescue are on the scene of a general aviation aircraft crash at The St. Augustine Airport according to a breaking report from Sgt. Chuck Mulligan.
