As we begin our 26th year of publication, I want to look back in satisfaction and look forward with renewed hope; as we rebuild our brand and commit to our nonprofit platform for the benefit of both advertisers and citizens of my hometown.

Thankful at Thanksgiving, we look back into the past and look forward to our future.

Historic City News would like to join Guardians of American History in recommending Florida Senator Randy Fine for election to the United States House of Representatives for District 6.

Historic City News scours the web at the close of each year to find some bit of editorial prose to entertain our core subscriber base, that being those politicos, lobbyists, elected and appointed officials of local government who seem hellbent on dancing between the raindrops to deliver us another session of Legislative pork while managing not to lose their jobs.

It’s morning in St Johns County, America. We are happy that on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, three reform Commissioners will become a 60% majority on our St Johns County Board of County Commissioners. Clay Murphy and Ann Taylor will join reformer Krista Keating Joseph. Three cheers! As President Theodore Roosevelt would say, we’re “delighted!”

Former St Johns County Commissioner Bill McClure’s retort to the Historic City News endorsement of Ed Slavin for a seat on the Mosquito Control District, ironically serves to highlight the reasons Ed should be on the Board.

Why would Historic City News endorse Ed Slavin, knowing that he has cost the County and the State hundreds of thousands of wasted taxpayer dollars retrieving documents that lead to nowhere?
